“Join Gary Thomas, author of the newly published ‘How to Do Your Literature Review’ as he addresses these questions – and more – to do with literature review.

Gary will discuss the literature review as part of a wider student research project and as an assessed project in its own right. In particular, he will look at the new AI tools that exist to help with literature review and he will discuss the merits (and demerits) of these tools.

He will go on to look at how human intelligence can structure a review in ways that AI cannot. He will look at various forms of organisation of a review – funnelling, chronological, thematic, comparison-based – that give coherence and integrity to a review and take it to a level that AI cannot achieve. Students can be encouraged to use such forms of organisation in ways that will enable them to rise above the list-like summaries offered by AI.”

“The use of generative AI tools to analyze data, conduct research, drive innovation, enhance instruction, and bring greater efficiencies to workflows continues to proliferate on a daily basis. To deliver meaningful value, generative AI systems need to be trained using high-quality materials, including copyrighted content. This raises new questions about how copyrighted material is used in AI systems and how best to manage compliance.

To address this need, CCC is offering AI and Copyright: Balancing Innovation with Compliance, a complimentary webcast designed to help you understand the implications of using copyrighted content within AI systems. Whether you are in a junior level role or leadership position, this session is ideal for professionals who want to gain a better understanding of this space.
