Description:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already changing society and impacting the nature of research, raising important questions about how data is gathered, analyzed, and reported, who is considered a researcher, and the ethics behind the conduct of research. To help us unpack some of these important and timely questions, the Northwestern University Institutional Review Board Office is proud to host Christina Maimone, Northwestern Information Technology Research Computing and Data Services Associate Director, in a Brown Bag session focused on the ethical and compliant use of AI in human research. 

Dr. Mainmone will address everything from technological principles to security and compliance rules to integrity and ethical considerations for using AI tools in human research. For those exploring the use of AI technologies in their work, this session will also cover potential uses of AI throughout the research process, from project development to the analysis and publication of research results. Finally, attendees will leave with resources and support available at Northwestern as well as knowledge on principles guiding the evaluation of the use of AI tools. We look forward to hosting you!
