Much of the work we do as early adopters of AI in academia relates to helping to clarify how AI can be put to good use in this setting. This is why we repeatedly reiterate the importance of functional, critical, and rhetorical AI literacy. Here’s our model and definition of AI literacy categories.

Explore an academic's journey from skepticism to cautious adoption of AI in education, delving into ethical concerns, learning curves, and the potential benefits for writing pedagogy. Gain insights from a mid-adopter's perspective on AI integration, student learning, and the evolving landscape of educational AI use.

Amid concerns about the ethics of AI, we offer the concept of cascading knowledge sharing as an answer for how to foster AI literacy in higher education.

There are so many AI-powered lit search engines on the market today. This blog helps you figure out why they’re useful and differentiates some of the main products to try.

Learn about how generative AI is shaping higher education, the purpose of education, and the future of work in this interview between Jessica Parker and David Shapiro.

If you used an AI tool like those developed at the Academic Insight Lab, Grammarly, or ChatGPT, cite it following your citation style’s guidelines for software. This will entail some fact-finding. Here’s what you’ll need to know.

First, let’s disambiguate between two questions: should I cite the AI tool that I used, and how should I cite the AI tool that I used? The first question rests on the nature of your AI tool use, and to answer it, I will break down aspects of research into parts. The second question is procedural, and to answer it, I will consider what software is. I will also address acknowledgments as an alternative to citation.

Embarking on a dissertation or thesis can be overwhelming, particularly in the initial stages of research and planning. AI tools have emerged as powerful allies, transforming the way doctoral students approach these challenges.

Doctoral students embarking on dissertations can find unparalleled support in ChatGPT-4* and AI Lab's unique tools. While ChatGPT-4 offers a solid foundation in various aspects of dissertation writing, our AI Lab tools provide specialized assistance, elevating your academic work.

The arrival of public access to Large Language Models (LLMs such as ChatGPT, Bard, Claude, etc.) has sparked an important conversation among educators: Where does Generative AI (GenAI) fit in the world of learning and teaching? Using Turovsky's ideas on how well AI can communicate, how accurate it is, and what's at risk, we've added a new layer to the discussion—complexity. This piece is crucial because it helps us understand how well GenAI can handle the sophisticated language tasks that are so vital in academia.

In a rapidly digitizing world, the integration of technology in research methodologies has become imperative. The emergence of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT presents opportunities and challenges in equal measure for qualitative researchers. But what do these advancements mean for the future of research? Our recent publication in The Qualitative Report touched upon the use of LLMs, such as ChatGPT, in developing and refining interview protocols. It's no secret that such models are transforming the way we approach data collection and analysis. But as researchers, we must ask: How can we harness the power of LLMs responsibly and ethically?

In today's fast-paced academic landscape, traditional methods of conveying complex ideas are evolving. Enter the world of visual prompts—a transformative tool that holds the promise of enhancing academic writing and ideation.

This post demonstrates how to use ScholarAI alongside GPT-4 to create a literature matrix.

This post highlights a series of YouTube videos explaining how to use writing strategies to get started on academic writing sessions.

This blog post explores the intricate relationship between human prompts and AI-generated responses, framing each word as a "password" that unlocks specific meanings, while emphasizing the active role of AI in this semiotic exchange and highlighting ethical considerations.

The advent of prompt-driven approaches heralds a significant shift in the landscape of academic writing and revising. This post offers a step in the direction of using AI in a transformative way for academic writing support, and the Academic Insight Lab continues to pioneer in this exciting domain.
