Abstract

This discussion table will examine how research managers and administrators may balance the pressures, positive aspects, and challenges of AI, with the goal of promoting responsible AI. This responsibility to use AI in an appropriate fashion may be used to promote research growth at institutions. By talking about the pros and cons of AI, and discussing how even with the use of AI it is critical that research managers and administrators maintain their "humanity" (interpersonal skills), table attendees will leave with the following initial take away message: Regardless of the future technology used in research management and administration, research managers must maintain strong interpersonal skills.
