Literature Reviews with Generative AI

This course provides a review of the best generative AI tools to use for a literature review. Don't just rely on an LLM (like ChatGPT) when there are purpose-built models! The instructor will walk through registering for specific tools, explain selecting the best for your research stage, demonstrate how to use each, and provide tips on prompt engineering, within an ethical and academic integrity-focused framework. We will primarily be using Consensus and NotebookLM.
