GenAI 302 Coding

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is one of the newest and most powerful tools in the researcher toolbox, however many academics feel uncertain about the ethics and practicality of using GenAI in their everyday workflow.

Our GenAI workshop series is returning in 2026 and expanding with new workshops covering the skills needed to analyse data.

This session will focus on using AI for coding. By the end of this workshop learners will be able to:

• Describe different strategies for using AI coding tools and their tradeoffs;

• Select appropriate automation strategy based on the context;

• Justify the choice of strategy based on task requirements.

This is building on the 100 and 200 series we have previously delivered and we recommend attending them first to understand the basics before these.
