Panel Discussion (led by Prof. Thomas Dietterich): The impact of AI on the future of science
Guiding questions include:
• If we have a 10x increase in the production of results in AI, how will we cope?
• How can we ensure that scientific results are real and not hallucinated?
• Can we find ways that people can internalize the state of knowledge within an area?
• Is the 10-20 page scientific paper still the right medium for communicating results? Is there still a role for conferences and journals?
