The use of GenAI continues to become normalized while also remaining contentious in all walks of life. Building on the success of the recent series of multi-session workshops on the use GenAI in academic research, organized by the FGS for professors and graduate students, this year’s FGS Open Forum focuses on the issues related to research outcome assessment in the age of GenAI.
