After completing this module, the student should have the following skills:

1. Ability to assemble, document and critically evaluate and summarise peer-reviewed
scientific literature relating to a specific topic.
2. Ability to evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of Generative and other AI
tools (e.g. Large Language Models like ChatGPT, and other AI approaches).
3. Ability to design and present material suitable for a research workshop, an
advanced level teaching course or equivalent.

The ability to assess the current status of our knowledge of a topic is an important
scientific skill. This information may be used (i) to educate students or scientists
about a topic at a very high level, (ii) to plan future scientific research, (iii) to evaluate
a commercial opportunity, or (iv) to design a national policy. Generative AI, a type of
artificial intelligence that can quickly generate new content such as text, images and
sound is now influencing how scientific information is analysed. Some Generative AI
tools (Large Language Models such as ChatGPT) are useful for helping to write
reports. Other AI tools can be used to quickly identify the most relevant (or the most
recent) scientific papers related to a specific topic. In this module, you will be
assigned a topic and will use AI and Generative AI tools to design a workshop (eg a
half-day workshop for a scientific or industrial audience) or an advanced lecturing
module (e.g. 3-4 lectures) suitable for undergraduate or postgraduate students.
Based on the appropriate scientific publications, you will then synthesise the key
ideas, theories and concepts into a literature review. You will use this information to
evaluate and critique the original AI-driven design. Finally, you will prepare and
present your work to classmates and staff.
