Now that generative AI has taken all of us by a storm, what will be the effects of that on the process of scientific research? and how this will change the roles of the scientific researcher?
In the GenAI era, scientific researchers ensure ethical AI use, validate data, and interpret AI-driven insights. They refine models, prevent biases, and integrate AI for faster analysis. While AI accelerates discovery, human expertise remains crucial for critical thinking, innovation, and responsible application in scientific research and advancements.
The AI still needs someone to train it and ask the right questions. It is developed to solve problems that human society faces.
The role of the researchers thus changes from the one analyzing to the one who will formulate the problem and interpret the results. Most importantly, human intervention to give the right input to the AI to perform its task is crucial.
