Technological advances that are very rapid at this time have penetrated all aspects of human life, including in the field of education. Various tools or applications are created to make it easier for humans to learn and do various things. The Medical Education Study Program at the Faculty of Medicine (FK) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) held a seminar on the Use of Artificial Intelligence to Improve Research and Publications on Thursday (27//7/2023).

Taking place in the Auditorium of FK UNS, this seminar presented two speakers namely Nurhasan Agung Prabowo, dr., Sp.PD from FK UNS and Dr. Eng. Ir. Sunu Wibirama, M.Eng., IPM from Gadjah Mada University. The chairman of the seminar committee, Nanang Wiyono, dr., M.Kes., hopes that holding a seminar like this can deepen the knowledge of students and lecturers who attend to take advantage of AI technology to make it easier in the learning process or doing research publications.

In the first material about Writing Review Articles by dr. Nurhasan, he explained that now there are many tools for systematic review problems, both free and paid.

"As for a systematic review, if it is according to the track, it will be very time consuming, especially for lecturers who are very busy and have limited time. Actually there are many AIs that can be used, one of which is Covidence, when we search in many references, duplication will appear, so we need an automatic one, which can screen abstracts quickly without downloading the article first, so this application is perfect for that need," dr. Nurhasan explained.

Furthermore, it was also practiced directly the steps that must be taken in writing review articles more easily using various applications so that participants could also better understand the use of these applications.

The second speaker Dr. Sunu presented material on Using AI to Improve Scientific Research and Publication. In his presentation he conveyed the benefits of AI in research, one of which is that users can design or brainstorm research ideas.

"So now there should be no more excuses for students who are working on their final project or thesis with excuses for not being able to find research or research ideas, because now there are lots of tools that can be used to find various ideas," Dr. Sunu said.

Even for reading and summarizing an article, there are now many tools available that can be used.

“If there is an excuse for not having time to read papers, then that reason is no longer relevant. There is a tool called chat PDF that can be used for questions and answers using paper. You can even use Microsoft Edge to summarize the paper into key points," he explained.

With all the tools that are already available, it is hoped that it will be able to help students study and graduate on time. "Now there is no longer any reason students graduate not on time for technical reasons, there are many technologies that can be used to make studying and doing assignments easier," he said.

However, according to him, behind all the convenience of the technology, there is a moral responsibility that must be understood by its users.
