Gene Ontology Curators AI Workshop (Part 1)

Goals:

Equip curators with general purpose AI skills and literacy, usable in a variety of different contexts, and to unblock paths to continued exploration. 

By the end of training curators will be able to

• Craft effective prompts for common curation tasks

• Evaluate AI outputs for accuracy and hallucinations

• Use AI for literature review and term selection

• Leverage search capabilities for preliminary research

• Understand when to use vs. avoid AI assistance

• Use the demonstrator Noctua connector for GO-CAM review and creation

Crucially, curators will be equipped to integrate AI into everyday workflows, using judgment as to where and when it makes sense.

Pre-requisites:

Understanding multiple aspects of GO curation process (ontology, standard, GO-CAMs). Familiarity with how to navigate and submit GitHub issues. No technical skills required.

Participants should register for an account on claude.ai, but note that no subscription is necessary.
