Key features: - A comprehensive introduction to AI and the range of debates that it generates for research. - International; examples from recently published and unpublished research projects in which AI was used, with an emphasis on those that shaped policy, planning, and future practice. - Discusses how connections can be made between AI and various research paradigms and approaches to research. - Offers individual and group exercises that explore and illustrate ways in which AI research can be done.
