That's why the University of Würzburg's Study Workshop is offering a workshop in the coming summer semester that will explore both the opportunities and challenges of AI. You will gain insights into various tools and the technology behind AI, learn how to use them effectively to improve your writing, and understand the academic guidelines for their application.
