Interesting paper, shows that AI doesn't help with paradigm shift or revolutionary ideas. The main area of improvement: whether a paper contains AI-related tokens doesn't necessarily imply usage of AI in the scientific process. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

It’s time for a New Sociology of Humans and Machines. Our paper in Nature Human Behaviour highlights why understanding this relationship is more urgent than ever. It’s not just humans shaping the world anymore—algorithms and bots are part of the social mix too. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Three papers we have been working on for some time were finally published within a month. In this short interview, I explain how these three papers will shape the research agenda of our "Centre for Sociology of Humans and Machines" in the coming years. tcd.ie/research/resea…
