The European Commission (EC) is working on a European AI in Science Strategy, shaped together with the European scientific community.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being employed in ever more scientific disciplines, enabling scientific breakthroughs and becoming an indispensable tool in the scientific process. Many applications of AI are clearly beneficial for scientific development. 

However, AI also has the potential to interfere with the ethical conduct of scientific research and the open deliberation on its outcomes. Even before the massive advent of AI, there was an ongoing trend towards an inflation of scientific publications.

At the same time, transparent use of AI may facilitate scientific communication, providing oversight against abuse, while helping researchers keep abreast of their field and equipping them for multi-disciplinary work. Tackling these issues requires a delicate balance to make the most of AI capabilities, without letting it dominate the process.

This event aims to lay the ground for a fruitful debate that looks into this topic from all angles, from the undeniable advantages to the risks associated with an extensive deployment of AI together with the ways to counter them. MEPs, together with the EC and researchers, will discuss the opportunities and challenges of the use of AI in science.
