The role of AI in the near future is an intriguing concern. As much as it is already helping us reach results for different problems in a more efficient manner, it will be important to lay out critical guidelines and boundaries so that we minimize AI’s damage to scientific and human progress as well. I am excited to see how AI contributes to the upcoming decades and whether it is an overall positive or negative change.
