Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are becoming increasingly influential in research. Within this context, generative AI tools like ChatGPT serve two main purposes: the improvement of writing (communication goal) and the generation of new ideas (innovation goal). The latter goal has been less explored and is therefore the focus of this article. We specifically look at how these generative AI tools can aid in the…

However, one main challenge, especially for public authorities and security organizations, is how to integrate such spontaneous volunteers into official disaster…
