Overview

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it is actively reshaping how research is conducted, overseen, and managed. For professionals in research compliance and administration, understanding how to effectively and ethically integrate AI into core processes is critical. This interactive workshop equips participants with the tools and confidence to do just that. Designed for individuals working across academic institutions, healthcare organizations, private industry, and government agencies, this training focuses on real-world applications of generative AI within research oversight. Participants will explore how AI can streamline routine tasks, including document review, knowledge management, and data sourcing, while also gaining hands-on experience with tools for evaluating AI-generated outputs, training datasets, and data visualization. More than just a technical overview, this session emphasizes ethical considerations and regulatory responsibilities—helping participants navigate the risks, biases, and accountability challenges inherent in using AI. Through applied exercises and guided discussions, attendees will develop a deeper understanding of AI’s capabilities and limitations and walk away with practical strategies for integrating AI into their day-to-day operations. Whether you are just beginning to explore AI or are seeking to refine your institution’s approach, this workshop will help you build essential skills, promote responsible innovation, and enhance your decision-making in a fast-changing research landscape. Join us to stay ahead of the curve—and ensure your oversight practices evolve in step with the technologies shaping the future of research.
