There's a sort of caricature of science. It's viewed as a black box that produces results. And my position is that if you don't understand how it works, I don't mean understand all the technical details. Nobody could do that. But if you don't understand the principles by which science works, how can you assess it?
What happens when artificial intelligence takes the reins in scientific research? In this engaging episode of 'American Medicine Today', hosts Kimberly Benatti and Ethan Uecker sit down with Benjamin Lewin, the author of 'Inside Science', to discuss the future of science with AI at its core. Lewin doesn't just scratch the surface; he dives into the transformative power and potential pitfalls of AI in scientific endeavors.
From issues of reproducibility to the politics that can skew research outcomes, Lewin paints a comprehensive picture of the modern scientific landscape. He also touches on the 'publish or perish' culture and the grant game, shedding light on how these pressures can affect scientific integrity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of AI and science, offering a balanced view that underscores the importance of scientific literacy among the public and policymakers.
Whether you're a science enthusiast or just someone interested in the future impacts of AI, Lewin's insights will leave you with plenty to ponder.
