In response to the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence in recent years, and the growing need for its effective and responsible use in research and administration, the Institute of Economic Research has established a working group on artificial intelligence.
At its first meeting on Tuesday, May 13, the working group focused on developing a common understanding of the current state of artificial intelligence use at the IER, exchanging experiences among colleagues, and considering the strategic role of artificial intelligence for the institute as a research organisation. This is because artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important for research, analytical, and support work at the institute. Particular emphasis was placed on how artificial intelligence can support research, improve access to information and enhance the efficiency of everyday processes, while maintaining research integrity, data security and confidentiality.
The discussion also opened up broader questions about the future role of artificial intelligence at the IER, including the relationship between the possible development of in-house solutions and the use of external solutions, the importance of knowledge, and the need to jointly develop approaches tailored to the specific research environment. The members of the newly established group, comprising a total of 15 researchers, agreed that artificial intelligence is not a substitute for research work, but rather a tool to support and enhance it.
The establishment of the working group represents the first step towards more systematic, coordinated, and responsible approach to artificial intelligence at the IER.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Kot odziv na izjemno hiter razvoj (generativne) umetne inteligence v zadnjih nekaj letih ter nara\u0161\u010dajo\u010de potrebe po njeni premi\u0161ljeni, u\u010dinkoviti in odgovorni uporabi v raziskovalnem in administrativnem delu, se je na In\u0161titutu za ekonomska raziskovanja vzpostavila delovna skupina za umetno inteligenco. Umetna inteligenca ima namre\u010d vedno ve\u010dji pomen za raziskovalno, analiti\u010dno in podporno delo na in\u0161titutu, zaradi \u010desar se je delovna skupina na svojem prvem sre\u010danju, v torek, 13. maja, osredoto\u010dila na skupno razumevanje trenutnega stanja uporabe umetne inteligence na IER, izmenjavo izku\u0161enj med sodelavkami in sodelavci ter razmislek o strate\u0161ki vlogi umetne inteligence za in\u0161titut kot raziskovalno organizacijo. Poseben poudarek je bil namenjen vpra\u0161anjem, kako lahko umetna inteligenca podpira raziskovalno delo, izbolj\u0161a dostop do informacij ter prispeva k ve\u010dji u\u010dinkovitosti vsakodnevnih delovnih procesov, ne da bi pri tem ogrozila raziskovalno integriteto ali varnost in zaupnost podatkov. Razprava je odprla tudi \u0161ir\u0161a vpra\u0161anja o prihodnji vlogi umetne inteligence na IER, vklju\u010dno z razmerjem med morebitnim razvojem lastnih in uporabo zunanjih re\u0161itev, pomenom znanja ter potrebo po skupnem oblikovanju pristopov, prilagojenih specifi\u010dnemu raziskovalnemu okolju. \u010clani novoustanovljene skupine, ki \u0161teje vseh 15 raziskovalk in raziskovalcev, so se strinjali, da umetna inteligenca ne predstavlja nadomestila za raziskovalno delo, temve\u010d orodje za njegovo podporo in nadgradnjo. Ustanovitev delovne skupine predstavlja prvi korak k bolj sistemati\u010dnemu, usklajenemu in odgovornemu razmisleku ter tudi ukrepanju na podro\u010dju umetne inteligence na IER.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10723,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[149],"class_list":["post-10721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novice","tag-149"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-26 19:37:19","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10721"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10724,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10721\/revisions\/10724"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ier.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
