How Should I Approach My AI Research Project Without Prior Experience? ?
Hi everyone! I’m working on a research project to explore how people perceive AI—its impact on daily life, its benefits and drawbacks, and what they expect from future AI advancements. My goal is to understand AI from multiple perspectives, including general users and industry professionals. To do this, I plan to: 🔹 Conduct surveys to gather public opinions on AI usage, concerns, and expectations. 🔹Interview AI professionals (researchers, developers, or industry experts) to get expert insights on current trends and future developments. 🔹 Analyze the collected data to identify patterns, key concerns, and possible solutions to AI-related challenges. However, I have no prior research experience, so I’d love advice on: ✅ How to design and distribute an effective survey ✅ Best ways to reach and connect with AI professionals ✅ Methods for analyzing and presenting my findings clearly ✅ Any useful resources or tools for beginner researchers If you have experience in research or AI-related projects, I’d greatly appreciate your guidance.
