📑AI and its role in the formation of project proposals within the programmes announced by EC📑 Generative Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are having a significant impact on various fields of activity, including scientific research. While these powerful tools can be useful for certain tasks, they also present a number of challenges and limitations that users should be aware of. The European Commission, along with the countries and stakeholders represented in the ERA Forum, decided to jointly develop a set of recommendations that could provide simple and actionable guidance to the European research community to foster the adoption of the technology in a responsible manner. The guidelines launched in March 2024 today are the result of this joint effort. They aim to consolidate different ideas and establish directions that can reassure those who use generative AI in the scientific domain. These guidelines will be updated regularly to keep pace with the very fast technological development. The research community is encouraged to contribute their views and ideas on how to enhance future versions. 🖇️On the portal, you can read the document (Living guidelines on the responsible use of generative AI in research https://lnkd.in/eG9qHBNV) and provide feedback: https://lnkd.in/ezQN93Tf Also, find out more information about the use of AI in science https://lnkd.in/dHt9xKSA European Commission

🖥️ Specialists of the Department “Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine”, NRFU not only conduct trainings and educational events for all those interested in participating in the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon Europe, but also constantly study and improve their knowledge. Thus, on November 26-28, employees of the Department took part in a training event dedicated to working with artificial intelligence, organised for research project managers: AI Boot Camp for Research Managers. 📑 The Office team joined the event at the invitation of Horizon Europe Office in Georgia. During three days of intensive training, the participants were shown the possibilities of generative artificial intelligence for researchers and grant managers. In particular, the participants learned how AI can be used to find calls, search for partners, create publications, presentations, booklets, develop project applications, etc. In addition, the approaches of various granting institutions to the use of generative artificial intelligence in the preparation of applications were considered, and the integrity of researchers in its use was discussed separately. ✅ In addition, the lecturer, Mr. Avi Staiman, announced the next online training for researchers, which will be devoted to the basic principles of working with generative artificial intelligence “AI Tools Boot Camp: Core Essentials”.
