  Transferable Skills [https://www.unibas.ch/en/University/Administration-S

 ce for research.\\r\\nThis course offers doctoral candidates a structured 
 introduction to the use of artificial intelligence in research\, with an e
 mphasis placed on AI-augmented methods rather than any particular set of a
 pplications or platforms. By the end of the course\, participants will und
 erstand how generative large language models are built and why this shapes
  their behaviour\, be able to deploy AI models as "tool-building tools" ca
 pable of handling bespoke research tasks\, possess a working overview of t
 he features offered by the major AI platforms\, and be equipped with a bas
 ic framework for critically evaluating and benchmarking AI-generated outpu
 ts. The aim throughout is to leave participants with transferable methodol
 ogical competencies that remain useful to them as researchers even as the 
 underlying models and applications continue to rapidly change.\\r\\nThe co
