Their advice was published on December 21, 2023. The following guidance on the use of generative AI, intended for researchers in Canada and Canadian post-secondary institutions, draws heavily on this advice and on feedback received during a public consultation period…

Join Oxford University Press and guest speakers for a live virtual roundtable where they will discuss:

• Insights into how AI is currently being employed and regarded within the academic community
• How to address researcher concerns around the impact of AI on areas such as critical thinking, IP protection, and plagiarism
• How OUP can contribute to developing new guidelines and ways of working that benefit the research process in the AI age

We have insights gathered from a survey of more than 2,000 researchers across geographies, disciplines and career stages. The speakers will delve deep into findings of the survey, and explore themes including trust, generational divides, and safe-guarding research quality. 

There will be a live Q&A session.

Please note that this event will be recorded, and all registrants will be notified once the recording is available for viewing.
