Description
At the European XFEL, Large Language Models provide opportunities to facilitate technical and administrative workflows, with applications such as chatbots for technical support, travel assistance and coding assistance. A task force was formed to evaluate these applications and to develop a European XFEL AI policy, focusing on technical assessment, framework creation, and ensuring ethical and regulatory compliance to guarantee safe adaptation and effective governance. Following a socio-technical perspective, this work utilizes grounded theory and the Gioia method to explore and analyze decision-making, learning outcomes, storytelling, and the unique considerations of implementing such technology in a research setting like European XFEL. This contribution also elaborates on task force members' future speculations regarding this technology at the European XFEL, and provides input for other organizations considering similar technologies.
