Scientific Research in the Age of GenAI: Change, Disruption, and What We Choose to Keep#

Speaker: Alwen Tiu

Abstract: Generative AI is reshaping the practice of science faster than many disciplines can absorb — from literature synthesis and hypothesis generation to coding, proof assistance, data analysis, and even drafting papers. This panel brings together researchers from computer science, mathematics, physical sciences, biological sciences, and social science to compare how this shift is playing out across their fields, what it may mean for the future of research, and how researchers can respond thoughtfully. Join us for a candid, cross-disciplinary conversation about what it means to grow as a scientist when the tools, timelines, and expectations of research are all changing at once.
