Evolving Collective Intelligence with Generative AI: A New Paradigm for Research, Teaching, and Industry

How can generative AI augment human cognition in research, teaching, and industry engagement?  Featuring practical real-time case studies that span these core academic areas, the seminar will provide attendees with practical examples of application in collaborative environments. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage directly, gaining hands-on experience.

This seminar aims to foster a dialogue on the integration of AI in academic and professional settings, inviting attendees to envision and contribute to the evolution of collective intelligence.

• Gain an understanding of GenAI collective intelligence, including how it's constructed and its influence on collaborative endeavours in various research, pedagogy and engagement domains.
• Acquire knowledge about GenAI collective intelligence approaches to problem-solving, the range of challenges it can address, and the successes it has achieved, particularly those relevant to the university's interests.
• Learn about the augmentation of traditional research methods with collective intelligence tools, fostering more dynamic and comprehensive research approaches.
• Discover actionable ways you can adopt collective intelligence in educational practices, research methodologies, and industry partnerships.
• Identify avenues for active contribution to and benefit from collective intelligence platforms, enriching the personal academic and professional experiences within the university community.
