Over the past two years, advances in the field of Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly the introduction and widespread use of ChatGPT, have had a significant impact on scientific research. This seminar will briefly describe the development of LLMs first. Based on Anton Korinek’s recent article “Generative AI for Economic Research: Use Cases and Implications for Economists” published in the Journal of Economic Literature, this seminar will also introduce dozens of cases of ChatGPT in six areas of economics research: creativity and feedback, writing, contextualization, data analysis, programming, and mathematical derivation.
