RE|SEARCH in the AI Age - A Head Start

Marcia Maria Pereira Pinheiro & Bruno Lins

The Doctoral Colloquium will conclude with a thematic and interactive workshop exploring the role of Artificial Intelligence across the research process.

The session will address opportunities and limitations associated with the use of AI in doctoral research, including literature exploration, research design, data analysis, academic writing and dissemination.

Particular attention will be given to methodological rigour, academic integrity, transparency and the preservation of the researcher's intellectual responsibility.

The workshop will encourage participants to reflect critically on how AI can provide researchers with a head start without becoming a substitute for scientific reasoning, methodological judgement or academic authorship.
