Exploring the Future of Research with AI: Join the Conversation!

Have you ever wondered how artificial intelligence might reshape the way we do research? 🤖💭 On May 8, the ARNA Leadership ARC invites you to a dynamic session titled: “AI in Action Research: A Collaborative Exploration.”

This isn’t your typical webinar. It’s a 90-minute interactive conversation designed to spark ideas, raise questions (even the messy ones), and begin mapping out what AI might mean for action research—together.

You don’t need to be an AI expert to join. Just bring your curiosity, your questions, and a willingness to engage in open dialogue. This space welcomes both enthusiasts and skeptics, and everyone in between who’s interested in the intersection of AI and research.

Here’s a taste of what we’ll explore:

• 🔍 Starting points: How might AI help us identify research questions or analyze contexts in fresh ways?
• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Collaboration dynamics: Can AI truly be a “co-researcher,” or is it better suited as a task-specific tool?
• ⚖️ Ethical considerations: Navigating bias, transparency, and power dynamics as AI enters the research space
• 📝 Writing & reflection: Creative uses of AI in documenting and meaning-making
• 🤔 Blindspots & opportunities: What are we missing? Where could this partnership take us?

This is an emergent conversation, and no one has all the answers. That’s the point—we’re figuring this out together.
