AI and Information searching : Language and publishing tools

Artificial intelligence for language proofing and publishing

As technology advances, AI-powered writing tools are becoming more sophisticated and powerful.
These language tools help to correct text and break away from the structures and syntax that arise from the source language.

Where to use? Discuss with your course tutor well in advance whether (and which) AI applications are allowed and in what way. Remember that students are always responsible for the content of the text they return.
