The Research Committee You Didn’t Know You Had: Rethinking Research [LFCoB Faculty Corner]

This session explores how faculty can move beyond using AI as a simple tool and begin working with it as a structured research committee. Instead of shortcuts or text generation, you’ll learn how generative AI can simulate roles such as journal editor, reviewer, methodologist, and domain expert to strengthen research design, clarify contributions, and respond strategically to reviewer feedback.
