Research Podcast Series: AI in Research

About this episode

This episode explores the use of artificial intelligence in research with Professor Benita Olivier.

Welcome to the Research Masterclass series, a collaboration between the SASMA Podcast and the Research Masterminds Success Academy. This series was created for clinicians, academics, and professionals who are curious about research but often find the academic world opaque, intimidating, or complicated. The aim of this series is to slow that conversation down. We want to unpack research in a way that is honest, grounded, and practical. In this fourth episode of the series, we are joined by Professor Benita Olivier, to take us through the use of artificial intelligence in research. Can we use it? How do we use it safely, and is it cheating? Together, we unpack this topic and delve into the complexities that research may bring.
