AI-Assisted Research Documentation in Social Sciences

This presentation examines how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can assist researchers in generating documentation such as codebooks and README files, helping meet Open Science and FAIR data requirements. It explores how LLMs can streamline workflows, align outputs with repository standards, and reduce curation burden. Alongside these opportunities, the talk also addresses the ethical, legal, and environmental challenges posed by AI integration, especially in contexts involving sensitive social science data.
