Research Guide: Generative AI and Research - Role of GenAI and Research

Employing GenAI in research can enhance research work in several different ways, resulting in time savings. For example:

• Discovering relevant literature quickly
• Summarizing key points from complex materials
• Managing large-scale information into smaller, more manageable bits of information
• Supporting analysis and annotation of data and documents
• Refining, editing and improving clarity of written content
• Deepening understanding through interactive chatbots

The ILO is developing a policy on the use of GenAI tools for writing and research.
