Intro to AI and Literature Searching

Intro to AI and Literature Searching

Discover how generative AI (GenAI) tools can assist with searching for scholarly literature. We will discuss the strengths and limitations of AI academic search tools, from general purpose chatbots to those designed for "deep research" such as UVA-licensed Consensus. Importantly, we will review what tasks GenAI tools are - and are not - appropriate for in your literature search process. We will also discuss how other AI approaches, such as machine learning, are incorporated into tools like Covidence for systematic reviews and can assist with literature review.
