AKjDPG 5.3: Invited Talk

Prompt or perish - the research life cycle in times of genAI — •Sandra Geisler — RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Deutschland

Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly reshaping how research is conducted and communicated. In this talk we will explore and spark discussions about where generative AI could or already does add value along the research life cycle, as well as the limitations and risks that must be carefully considered. From brainstorming and literature discovery to FAIR-compliant research data management, science communication and the review process, LLMs offer powerful new opportunities for researchers. At the same time, researchers face significant uncertainty, ethical concerns, and policy gaps. Drawing on recent studies and practical examples from our own research projects, this presentation highlights both the promise and the perils of an AI-assisted research life cycle.
