It is used to collect, evaluate and classify information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) can greatly simplify this process by analyzing large amounts of data, suggesting relevant sources and creating summaries. At the same time, the use of AI requires a responsible approach to ensure the quality and reliability of the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AI-supported search tools work with natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques. They can understand texts, extract content and answer complex questions in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the response quality is based heavily on the AI's training data and the formulation of the query (prompt). A critical check by a human is therefore always necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Areas of application &amp; possible uses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scientific work:<\/strong>&nbsp;Initial overview research on a topic or state of research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project development:<\/strong>&nbsp;Collection of data and best practice examples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Journalistic contributions:<\/strong>&nbsp;Quick assessment of sources and trends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Funding applications:<\/strong>&nbsp;Finding a basis for argumentation and statistical data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Educational work:<\/strong>&nbsp;Preparation of background information for training courses or presentations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step-by-step procedure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Define goal and topic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What exactly should be researched?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What kind of information is needed?
