AI-enabled Communication to Advance Research Engagement (AI-CARE)

The objective of AI-CARE is to train researchers and community members to use artificial intelligence (AI) to create plain-language summaries of research studies and to determine whether a co-creation process for developing these summaries improves understanding and relevance of the research, confidence in AI and in institutions, and AI literacy. The hypothesis is that AI-generated research summaries, co-developed with researchers and community partners, will significantly improve confidence in research and institutions, understanding and accessibility of the research, and appropriateness of the summary compared with standard researcher-generated materials, and that the educational and co-creation process will build community members' AI literacy and confidence in using AI, as well as researchers' readiness to use and comfort with using AI for communicating research.
