The
rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) will change the way we work in
numerous professionsal fields, including academic research. The young generation
of lawyers needs to learn how to use AI correctly. Some researchers have misused
AI tools to have them write their research papers for them, but this is not only
ghostwriting or plagiarism but also leads to disastrous results. Students and
researchers may use AI tools, but not to replace but to improve their own work.
Yes, this is possible, but it is not so easy and requires some understanding of
how AI functions, how it can support scientific research and where are its
limits, as well as some knowledge of which AI tools exist for which purpose, how
to create strong prompts and follow-up prompts and how to obtain reliabe
answers, even with precise references to scientific resources. The guest lecture
will address these topics and also compare some of the most common AI chatbots.
It will also warn about the inherent risks of using AI, such as desinformation,
"hallucinating" and manipulation, and how to avoid them.
