AI is rewriting the rules of scientific discovery – but can we trust what it finds?
This panel brings together experts to examine AI's explosive impact on research, from protein prediction to data analysis. Four specialists will tackle critical questions, including: How does AI accelerate breakthroughs? What risks does AI pose to scientific integrity? How should society navigate this transformation?
The panelists:
– Dr Stefan Harrer, PhD (CSIRO) builds trustworthy AI for healthcare and pharmaceuticals
– Professor Karin Verspoor (RMIT University) uses machine learning to mine insights from scientific literature
– Associate Professor Michelle Riedlinger (QUT) specialises in research communication and public engagement
– Dr Ehsan Nabavi (ANU) leads responsible innovation research
The discussion examines AI's role in reshaping both how scientists work and how society views scientific knowledge.
Our event host will be ABC news digital storyteller Lish Fejer.
The conversation will cover the role of AI in the scientific endeavour and what this means for the role of science in society.
