I was invited to teach the searching and screening sessions in the High-Efficiency Systematic Reviews (with Ethical AI Use) workshop. The workshop ran for a few days and, naturally,was not free; however, the convenor agreed that I could share the content with a delay on YouTube.
Both videos are chaptered, so you can skip right to the part you want to listen/see, and I provide a brief outline below:
