Researchers need to know when AI adds value and when it risks diminishing human insight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why we\u2019re launching the Certificate in AI for User Research, a live online course designed to help researchers integrate AI into their work in a responsible and effective way. Over three interactive sessions, you\u2019ll learn how to save time, improve outputs and scale your impact, while keeping empathy and critical thinking at the centre of your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why AI matters for research<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From writing surveys to clustering themes, AI is already changing how we do research. It can speed up repetitive tasks, surface new patterns in data and make it easier to share findings with teams. But with those benefits come risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers need to understand what AI can and can\u2019t do, how it reshapes the role of the researcher, and how to balance efficiency with human insight.
