In this workshop, we will explore the potential uses of generative artificial intelligence tools in research data management (RDM) with Microsoft Copilot as a specific example. For example, can AI tools be used to write Data Management Plans, summarize funder requirements, or suggest file naming conventions and folder structures? We will also address related topics such as using AI tools to write conference abstracts, assist with data analysis, create data description documentation, summarize metadata, and more.

We will also discuss the ethical considerations, including benefits and risks, of using AI tools in research and whether it is possible to use AI for RDM practices in an ethical manner.
