Lecture by Oliver Steinbock on Using LLMs Without Losing Your Judgment, delivered at the 2026 AI Bootcamp of Florida State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The lecture focuses on practical AI use for studying, scientific writing, and literature work.
Oliver Steinbock is a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University. In this lecture, he discusses how to use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other LLMs effectively while maintaining scientific judgment and educational effectiveness. Topics include prompting, files and projects, responsible data handling, reading scientific papers with AI assistance, literature search and research agents, scientific writing, reference checking, and the use of AI for slides, animations, video, and other scientific communication.
A recurring theme is that AI can accelerate research and communication, but important claims, references, interpretations, and scientific decisions still require human verification and judgment.
This lecture was the second introductory presentation at the 2026 FSU Chemistry & Biochemistry AI Bootcamp, designed for graduate students and other members of the FSU community to explore modern AI. The bootcamp was organized by Professors Wen Zhu and Oliver Steinbock.
