- Abstract summary: Generative AI models are on the cusp of transforming many aspects of modern life.
There is potential for Generative AI to have a substantive impact on the methods and pace of discovery for a range of scientific disciplines.
We interviewed twenty scientists from a range of fields to gain insight into whether or how Generative AI might add value to the practice of their respective disciplines.

- Abstract: Generative AI models, including large language models and multimodal models
that include text and other media, are on the cusp of transforming many aspects
of modern life, including entertainment, education, civic life, the arts, and a
range of professions. There is potential for Generative AI to have a
substantive impact on the methods and pace of discovery for a range of
scientific disciplines. We interviewed twenty scientists from a range of fields
(including the physical, life, and social sciences) to gain insight into
whether or how Generative AI technologies might add value to the practice of
their respective disciplines, including not only ways in which AI might
accelerate scientific discovery (i.e., research), but also other aspects of
their profession, including the education of future scholars and the
communication of scientific findings. In addition to identifying opportunities
for Generative AI to augment scientists' current practices, we also asked
participants to reflect on concerns about AI. These findings can help guide the
responsible development of models and interfaces for scientific education,
inquiry, and communication.

Artificial Intelligence [67.70415658080121]
Recent advances in machine learning and AI are disrupting technological innovation, product development, and society as a whole.
AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access.
Here we explore and investigate aspects of an AI-driven, automated, closed-loop approach to scientific discovery.

In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society.
A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests.
This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
