The aim of this interactive workshop is to consider the methodologically appropriate and ethical use of Generative-AI (Gen-AI) tools to analyse qualitative data in the form of transcripts from e.g. interviews and focus groups, or other textual materials (e.g. literature, policy reports, open-ended survey responses etc.).

  • Historical context of AI-assisted qualitative analysis
  • Planning for and setting up AI-assisted qualitative analysis projects
  • The ethics of incorporating AI-assisted tools into qualitative analysis
  • Using AI-assisted tools to transcribe, explore and summarise qualitative data
  • Using AI-assisted tools to generate ideas for, and undertake qualitative coding
  • Using AI-assisted tools to identify patterns and relationships
  • Reporting on the use of AI-assisted tools in qualitative analysis
