AI-powered Research (Research & Discovery): QS Higher Ed Summit - Europe 2024

Ms. Carlin Noelle Zita Lamagna, the Director of Planning and Development, American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) attended the QS Higher Ed Summit: Europe 2024 in Sitges, Barcelona. The theme of this prestigious event, "Change Makers in Sustainability: New Visions of European Higher Education by Empowering Young Minds," resonated deeply with AIUB’s mission.

One of the main plenary sessions featured interactive dialogue on "AI-powered Research (Research & Discovery)," moderated by Eng. Sofia Ribeiro, Operations Lead at DareData.

Key Insights from the Session:

  1. Transformative Power of AI in Research: The session highlighted how AI is revolutionizing research methodologies. It enables researchers to process and analyze vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently, uncovering patterns and insights that traditional methods would struggle to identify. This acceleration of discovery is reshaping the landscape of scientific inquiry.

 

  1. Enhanced Communication: AI is not only transforming research but also enhancing the way findings are communicated to the public. Advanced AI tools can simplify complex data, making it more accessible and understandable for a broader audience. This democratization of information ensures that the public can engage with and understand scientific developments.

 

  1. Future of Scientific Inquiry: The discussion underscored AI's role in shaping the future of research. By automating mundane tasks, AI allows researchers to focus on more creative and complex aspects of their work. The potential for interdisciplinary collaboration is also expanded, as AI tools can integrate and analyze data from various fields, fostering innovative solutions to global challenges.

 

Application in AIUB:

  1. Integrating AI in Research Initiatives: At the American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB), we can leverage AI to enhance our research capabilities. By incorporating AI tools, we can facilitate more efficient data analysis and foster innovative research projects that align with global scientific trends.
  2. Training and Development: AIUB has a plan to invest in training its faculty and researchers in AI technologies. By equipping them with the necessary skills, AIUB can ensure they are prepared to utilize AI in their work, ultimately leading to more impactful research outcomes.
  3. Enhancing Public Communication: Using AI to simplify and communicate research findings can help us engage more effectively with the public and stakeholders. This approach will not only raise awareness about our research initiatives but also demonstrate the practical applications and benefits of our work to the community.
  4. Encouraging Interdisciplinary Collaboration: AI can act as a bridge between different academic disciplines. By promoting interdisciplinary research, we can harness the full potential of AI to address complex problems and contribute to sustainable development goals.

 

Attending the session on "AI-powered Research (Research & Discovery)" at the QS Higher Ed Summit has provided valuable insights into the transformative impact of AI on research. By integrating these learnings into our organizational strategy, we can enhance our research capabilities, foster innovation, and strengthen our role as a change maker in sustainability and higher education.
