Artificial Intelligence Tool Use in Research Questions

Best practices for using large language models and other artificial intelligence tools to accelerate research and development. Topics include crafting narrow and specific prompts for code and design generation, validating and testing generated code line by line, writing small unit tests and example cases to confirm behavior, and explaining generated logic aloud to reveal gaps. Emphasize treating tool outputs as hypotheses that require verification, tracking provenance and sources, managing security and intellectual property considerations, and using tools for rapid prototyping while preserving reproducibility and code quality.
