Sci and AI

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the format, style and content of scientific publishing. Traditional reviews are likely to give way to more personalized, AI-generated literature surveys on the one hand and more innovative, perhaps even controversial hy pothesis, opinion or essay-style contributions on the other. Original publications based on experimental data are still less affected even if AI teams up with robots. Eventually, science and scientific publishing are social activities and although the AI-driven tools and technologies at hand may accelerate and also refine scientific publishing, scientists, as always, are well equipped to adapt and to turn these challenges into new opportunities, for instance in handling, processing and illustrating experimental data.
