Attendance is required as it will not be recorded.\n\nThis interactive\, hands-on wor kshop will introduce participants to a framework for considering the conse quences of using generative AI in qualitative research designs and workflo ws (Paulus\, 2023\; Paulus & Lester\, 2024). We will start by acknowledgin g inherent risks and ethical dilemmas posed by the development of large la nguage models and how generative AI is challenging the essence of what it means to do qualitative work (Paulus & Marone\, 2025\; Paulus\, Lester & D avis\, 2025). We will learn how to distinguish between methodological stra tegies and technological tactics\, i.e. why researchers must first know ho w they want to work with their data before choosing the best tools to do s o (Woolf & Silver\, 2018). We will then discuss the current ‘state of pl ay’ regarding the various genres of AI-assist technologies available to qualitative researchers and how to select the most appropriate platform. W e will then compare and contrast several AI-assist platforms for managing and analyzing qualitative data. Finally\, we will discuss best practices f or how to report the use of AI in research studies (Lester & Paulus\, fort hcoming) and how to reflexively consider the consequences of doing so. Sam ple interview data will be used for the practice exercises. Workshop time will alternative between short lectures and demonstrations\, small group d iscussions\, practical hands-on activities\, and application of principles learned to the participants’ own research studies and data.\n\nRegistra tion and fee are required for Zoom link access.
