(S8E6) How Generative AI could shape the future of career development
Manage episode 429327131 series 3409585
In this episode, host Taryn Bell speaks to Chris Webb (Careers Consultant, University of Huddersfield) about the potentials and pitfalls of GenerativeAI (or GenAI) in supporting researchers' career development.
We discuss what GenAI is, what tools researchers and researcher developers can use, and where we need to be careful about their use.
The main points covered include:
- How GenAI can support researchers both as a first port of call during the job search, and as a way to do your current job more effectively
- The continuing importance of 'domain experts', e.g. real people, rather than chatbots!
- The need to use GenAI responsibly and thoughtfully.
