Exploring the Use of AI and Large Language Models at the Institute: A Roundtable
- 12:00 to 13:00
- Digital Humanities Brown Bag Lunch
- Digital Humanities
- Pablo Ruiz de Olano
Join us for a discussion on AI and large language models and their applications at the MPIWG. This session will explore the newly published MPG and EU guidelines, practical applications across different work areas, and important ethical considerations.
The session will start with a short talk from our former colleague Pablo Ruiz de Olano, now Integrity Analyst at Springer Nature, on how publishing companies use AI to detect fake papers and preserve scientific integrity. The session will then transition into a roundtable discussion where we will try and address key questions about data protection, copyright issues, transparency in AI use, techniques for minimizing bias, and specific applications across text, image, and video formats.
This brown bag lunch provides an opportunity for all staff and researchers to share experiences, raise concerns, and gain practical insights about integrating AI responsibly into our various workflows. Topics will include using AI for editing and translation, identifying AI-generated content, and the future development of these technologies. We welcome your participation and questions as we navigate this evolving technological landscape together.
