All are welcome; however, this workshop will be particularly useful for advanced undergraduates and all graduate students.
There will be snacks and coffee available!
More information about Zotero can be found on this research guide: https://guides.lib.utexas.edu/citation-managers/zotero

Join this AI & Research workshop on Zoom to learn about research applications of local AI models that you can run on your own system instead of in the cloud. There will be a focus on the advantages and disadvantages of a local AI approach and we will specifically look at cost, privacy, openness, and consistency. We will also cover essential AI considerations including policies and ethics, discuss steps for getting ready to use local AI models, and demonstrate the use of local AI in research workflows.
