Storytelling with AI

When The Aftermath of Trauma Emerges in Research

Have you come across the term trauma-informed research lately? In episode 7, Femma interviews Ayhan about his upcoming book titled 'A Practical Guide to Trauma Sensitive Research: Integrating Trauma-Informed Frameworks into the Qualitative Research Lifecycle', to be published by Routledge. Ayhan, a therapist and researcher, shares insights on handling trauma in research to avoid harm. Both talk about the importance of understanding trauma, using careful approaches in research, and providing practical advice for researchers. The conversation covers misconceptions about trauma, ethical considerations, and the need for supervision in research projects. Ayhan's book aims to improve research practices by integrating trauma-informed principles, making research safer for participants and researchers. This discussion is informative for those interested in applying trauma-informed approaches in their research.

Understanding Pandemic Effects and Educational Advances

In episode six, we welcomed Dr Amir Hajiyavand and Dr Ali Sadegh-Zadeh to discuss two pivotal studies. The first study explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social and mental health, employing machine learning for its analysis. The second study probes into undergraduates' perceptions of and engagement with AI-enhanced online education. To add a twist to our conversation, we introduced a Turing Test challenge, testing our ability to discern between responses generated by humans and those by AI. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Storytelling with AI

In this episode, we chat with Sudhansu from India about his journey in creating a film that combines AI and human insights to highlight climate change. Sudhansu shares his background in product management and his recent focus on filmmaking and AI. He's motivated by the direct impact of climate change he's observed and aims to raise awareness through his work. He walks us through his creative process, the AI tools he utilises, and the obstacles he encounters, showcasing the potential of AI in storytelling and advocacy. His film, "The Climate Monster," serves as a prime example of using technology creatively to tackle global issues.

Are we human or are we ChatGPT?

In episode four, Femma and Ayhan tackle the Turing Test, designed to see if AI can mimic human talk convincingly so that it's indistinguishable from real people. They discuss Alan Turing's contributions, then experiment live, adapting the test to see if they can tell apart human from AI responses in different scenarios. This episode is research in action, blending learning and fun, and is available on YouTube, Apple and Spotify. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
