Debate evening - Could AI slow science? Confronting the production-progress paradox
Technology like AI promises a revolution in science: faster publishing, analyzing more data, and generating new ideas. But according to a recent analysis, “Could AI Slow Science?”, the number of scientific publications is growing exponentially, while true breakthrough innovations appear to be stagnating and AI may even reinforce this by prioritizing quantity over quality.
What does this mean for the future of research? Does AI accelerate progress, or does it deepen the paradox of more output but less genuine advancement? Join this debate evening and share your insights or critical perspective on the role of AI in science. The starting point for this discussion is this opinion piece: Could AI slow science?
