QPD Module 3
There’s no getting around AI anymore. And for good reason: Generative AI can help scientists present complex content in a way that’s understandable to non-specialist audiences—for example, through concise texts or clear visualizations. In this training, participants will learn how to use AI tools thoughtfully and purposefully in science communication. The focus is on practical exercises that allow participants to explore the opportunities and limitations of various tools. The training also addresses issues of quality and authenticity, as well as ethical and legal considerations in the use of AI. The goal is to develop a fundamental understanding of the sensible use of generative AI—in a practical, critical, and application-oriented manner.
What this event is about:
- Science Communication Supported by AI
- Using AI to simplify complex content for specific target audiences
- AI-assisted work on texts, images, and content
- Quality, credibility, and responsibility in handling AI-generated content
- Social, ethical, and legal aspects of generative AI
For over ten years, the National Institute for Science Communication (NaWik) has been teaching researchers, students, and professional public relations specialists the fundamentals of effective science communication.
