Research Internship at CKI - Global monitoring of use of Generative AI in higher education and science

Position: Research Internship at CKI

Project: Global monitoring of use of Generative AI in higher education and science

Scientific supervisor: Prof. Dr. Isak Frumin

Introduction to CKI:

The Constructor Knowledge Institute (CKI) intends to set the worldwide standard for research into Computer Science, AI and Machine Learning, Robotics, and Neuroscience, operating in strong contact with industry, and:

• Leveraging CS technologies to address challenges in various fields, delivering innovative solutions tailored to industry needs.
• Providing research opportunities, mentorship, and involvement in collaborative projects to young researchers and PhDs.
• Encouraging interdisciplinary research by fostering collaboration between diverse fields, emphasizing the integration of theoretical research with practical application

Project: Global monitoring of use of Generative AI in higher education and science

With this project, CKI aims to create a global network of researchers to exchange ideas, share empirical findings and advance understanding of the development and application of AI in higher education and the sciences. The project is focused on conducting comparative studies to examine institutional and national responses to AI, with a focus on identifying successful applications and their scalability across diverse educational and scientific contexts. Our team of researchers and partners employs advanced quantitative techniques, such as web scraping and text analysis, alongside qualitative methods. CKI plans to use these findings to produce a monitoring system, comparative books, and research articles.

Challenges / key research questions:

• Empirical studies on the national landscape and policy context
• An analysis of institutional university-level responses in relation to genAI, using qualitative approaches (interviews with university leaders), analysis of documents and regulation, quantitative analysis of websites.

Requirements:

• Web scrapping knowledge is a plus
• Large text corpus analysis
