As an academic, you find yourself in different roles: researcher, teacher, project manager, conference organiser, editor, author, workshop leader, funding committee member and so on. AI is a really good support in all these roles and by applying it in these very different contexts your experience is enriched. In this Research Notes’ column we focus on IT researchers’ experiences using AI in the field. First Lena Holmberg tells the story of how she started to combine software process improvement research and AI. An interview with Agneta Nilsson follows, presenting ways in which she has applied AI in both research and education.
