AI Tools for Research

A guide to help you understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support your academic research

Statista Research AI

Statista compiles statistics, reports, and insights from both its own proprietary information and content from its partners. The Research AI feature within Statista offers an alternative method for searching and accessing information. 

Features 

  • Concise summaries: Provides informative summaries of the results.  
  • Multilingual Support: Users can search and retrieve results in various languages. There may be limited results in some cases as English is the main language the AI tool was trained on. 
  • Follow-up Recommendations: It offers "Extended Query Recommendations" and "Curated Content Recommendations" to help users deepen their research and explore related topics. 

Limitations 

  • Prompt Dependency: Relevance of the results are highly dependent on the quality and specificity of the user's prompt. A poorly phrased question might result in less useful results. 
  • Subject Limitations: The AI Research Assistant is not productive for all subjects. 
  • Contradictory Data: Statista harvests data from multiple sources, so there is a risk of encountering conflicting data. Users should critically evaluate sources to choose the most appropriate one for their query.
