Part 1: Understanding GenAI

Generative AI tools are becoming an increasingly common part of higher education. But how should they be used in academic work?

In this webinar, we will explore the strengths and limitations of GenAI, as well as the ethical and practical issues surrounding its use in higher education. Topics include brainstorming, critical thinking, academic integrity and data privacy. The webinar will also examine common risks, such as the provision of inaccurate information, overreliance on AI and the challenges of maintaining originality and independent learning.

This lecture is part of the Writing Centre's series of short, focused sessions designed to support your academic writing and study skills.

The webinar is suitable for students at all levels. There will be opportunities to ask questions and reflect on how AI can be used responsibly and effectively.
