Tools, uses and misuses of AI in academic research at ULB

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Consensus or other AI assistants are reshaping academic research, offering exciting possibilities but also raising critical questions. In this table ronde, we’ll explore how these tools work, their strengths and limitations, and how to use them effectively for tasks like literature searches, idea generation, critical review or content refinement. We’ll also address ethical concerns, ULB’s guidelines for responsible use, and strategies for maintaining research integrity. A call will also be made for a working group to further address these questions, bringing together PhD students and researchers from various disciplines.
