TL03: GenAI in Action: Transforming Research and Boosting Productivity

Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center 

For statisticians across industry, academia, and government, the key question is no longer whether GenAI can be useful, but how it can be integrated responsibly, productively, and sustainably into everyday work, and where it falls short. As practices continue to emerge organically in this rapidly evolving medium for interacting with information, this roundtable is designed to foster collective learning through peer exchange, grounded in real-world trial-and-error experiences with GenAI tools.
Participants will share 1-2 short, concrete examples of how GenAI tools have changed their professional practice. These examples may span research, learning, collaboration, documentation, analysis, communication, or decision-making. What worked, what didn't, what saved time, what created new risks, and what required rethinking long-established habits. The emphasis will be on generalizable lessons that translate across roles, sectors, and levels of technical expertise.

The conversation will surface a sharable set of practical tips, workflows, and cautionary lessons that capture shared insights and support continued learning for a broader statistical community.
