Artificial intelligence
In this dynamic context, we note a development whose implications are still difficult to grasp, namely the rapid advance of AI in scientific research. What does AI mean for the research process, for the knowledge and skills that researchers require, and for the nature and validity of research results?
We will investigate the increasing options for using AI in various research fields. We will examine its effects on research quality and survey what is needed to safeguard quality. In doing so, we will also highlight use of the services provided by foreign tech companies, bearing in mind issues regarding dependency and knowledge security. The central issues are what AI can mean for Dutch science and what needs to be done to ensure that it is utilised responsibly.
