SUMMARY:AI in Research: Shruti Syal: Climbing ladders\, avoiding snakes: an experiment with content analysis & organization using Perplexity & Prezi AI
DESCRIPTION:GenAI has several ethics issues\, even as a research tool. Dr. 
 Syal will discuss how she uses of Perplexity and Prezi AIs in a way that 
 addresses a few of them: knowledge and data privacy\, bias\, IP\, 
 hallucinations\, copyright\, explainability\, workforce reshaping vs 
 training\, and AI use transparency\, and detractive learning. Dr. Syal will 
 also discuss how\, despite cautionary steps\, concerns about training 
 bias\, user data security\, and scalability are not as clearly 
 resolved.\n\n \n\nFor more information or special accommodations\, please 
 contact Julie Arendt (jaarendt@vcu.edu).
