In this talk, we'll give a rudimentary introduction to artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI tools that could be helpful for researchers.

We'll go through detailed examples of text-generating AI tools and uncover the pros and cons of such technologies, as well as what researchers should be aware of when using these applications.

In addition to text generators, we will also present some commercially available tools that can make organizing and writing one's research more efficient.

Finally, we'll discuss the role of AI in the future of scientific publishing. Examples used will be from the physical sciences, but the talk would be generally useful for researchers across many fields.

Speaker:

Dr. David Peralta, Editor-in-Chief, ChemMedChem, Wiley-VCH GmbH

David studied Chemistry and German culture and language at the Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines (BSc Chem 2006, MSc Chem 2009). There, he taught various courses in chemistry and science and society while finishing his MSc degree, focusing on organic, analytical, and biochemistry. In 2009, he moved to Germany for his doctoral research at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), in the research group of Prof. Tobias Dick, where he discovered a mechanism for the H2O2-sensitivity of the moonlighting enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). In 2015, he earned his Doctor of Science degree in biology from the DKFZ and the University of Heidelberg.

Shortly before his doctoral defense, he joined Wiley-VCH in 2014 as a full-time Assistant Editor for the journals ChemMedChem and ChemistryOpen, and later also ChemistrySelect. He became Managing Editor of ChemMedChem in 2016 and has been its Editor-in-Chief since 2017. Since 2023 he has also served as interim Editor-in-Chief of the journal Analysis & Sensing.

On top of his editorial duties, David coordinates the workshop team of the in-house Chemistry division and provides training on various topics about science publishing and communication.
