Hands-On Tutorials

Generative AI is revolutionizing the landscape of research by enabling unprecedented levels of automation and innovation, and facilitating major breakthroughs across all research fields. To leverage this, MIDAS hosts tutorials on generative AI for researchers across all disciplines at U-M. We cover topics ranging from administrative tasks, literature review and synthesis, data analysis, and writing and presentations.

Transforming Your Research with Generative AI

If you are a U-M researcher looking to learn more about when, why, and how to integrate generative AI tools into your research, please register to join us at one of our upcoming sessions.

The 2025 – 2026 series is open to all U-M researchers. Additionally, if you are unable to attend in person, recordings of the sessions will be available for later viewing.

No prior experience with generative AI tools is required. Participants will need to supply their own laptop for each session.
