Scrutinizing Generative AI’s Responses in Health Literature Searching

Join us for this series of hands-on practice using ChatGPT4, Claude, Perplexity and Open Evidence. We will develop prompts for each AI platform and create prompt libraries.  We will then compare the results to those from a human conducted literature searches. Collaborative sessions will take place virtually through Zoom on these dates and times:

  • Wednesday July 10, 2024 from 11:00 – 12:00 noon EDT
  • Wednesday August 21, 2024 from 11:00 – 12:00 noon EDT
