In this podcast, we explore how ChatGPT can support the research process by speeding up the information-gathering stage. Far from taking away from critical thinking, ChatGPT augments it by providing confidence that all relevant information is considered without replacing human thought processes. We also discuss how reframing the way we think about plagiarism can lead to a holistic approach to education, incorporating AI tools like ChatGPT and fields such as humanities to foster not just doing, but critical thinking about how we do things. Join us to discover how these tools can empower us in the real world and transform our approach to learning and research.
