The SciLib Forum of the University Medical Library in Basel is a focused training and discussion event in English for academic researchers—particularly PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, early and advanced career scholars—interested in integrating generative AI into their scientific writing processes.
Generative AI is changing how researchers write, review, evaluate, and communicate science. As AI tools become more capable of synthesizing literature, drafting manuscripts, and shaping research outputs, a fundamental question arises: Who is actually in charge? Are researchers still the primary authors using AI as an assistant, or are humans increasingly reduced to editing AI-generated science?
This year's SciLib Forum explores this shifting balance. Participants will examine how to maintain intellectual ownership, critical judgement, transparency, and responsibility, ensuring that AI strengthens rather than replaces human scientific reasoning.
