Inside AIMM (AI Morning Meetup), a simple weekly format is doing something most orgs struggle with-making AI literacy stick. Joined by the AI Pioneering Lab, we unpack how the meetup works, the tools worth paying attention to (and the ones that aren't), and why this model is quietly becoming a blueprint others can adopt.

What is evidence synthesis, and why is it so central to research? Co-hosts Amelia and Defne talk with Dr. Gregory Laynor about how researchers use evidence synthesis to make sense of large bodies of literature. They explore how AI tools are changing the process-speeding it up, reshaping roles, and raising the question of whether research assistants could become obsolete.
