- Somewhat optimistic it will help improve my area of expertiseuser-586979AI is bad for science but good for scientists.
- Somewhat concerned it will do more harm than gooduser-444118If AI is allowed to produce references for documents (or studies) that don't exist (e.g., the US Administrations MAHA document with made up references!) - that would be a major problem validating scientific work.
- Very concerned it will do more harm than gooduser-381514My grand-daughter was fired from her first job because of AI. Why should I trust it
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-887652AI sometimes finds things I wouldn’t have thought to look for, but I have encountered hallucinations and slop. AI is both better and worse. More results, faster; more errors, faster.
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-344135I am concerned use of AI will displace junior research assistants, meaning there will be training for intro positions.
- Very concerned it will do more harm than gooduser-655754It will do more harm than good in the education sector, which is where I consider myself to be. That said, I see it providing good benefits in research in my area of expertise (visual cognition), e.g., with stimulus generation, etc.
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-284488It certainly seems to be a way to get information collected more efficiently, but there’s enough data and concern out there that it sometimes picks up unreliable information.
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-505211I think AI is good for simplifying tasks and saving time. However, I would be very happy if all institutions and countries had their own standard guidelines for the utilization of AI.
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-626631It helps to enhance my knowledge. On other hand it reduces my out of box thinking at times
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-694063AI makes several mistakes in answering scientific questions
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-685699In the filled of clinical medicine practice.
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-634254In infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance research, AI offers strong potential for predictive modeling, genomic analysis, and surveillance. However, concerns remain regarding data bias, reproducibility, regulatory oversight, and over-reliance without validation. I therefore see both meaningful benefits and important risks that must be managed responsibly.
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-444538AI tools offer genuine utility for specific tasks in Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, and Smart Solution such as literature review and data analysis which can accelerate certain aspects of research. AI tools offer real efficiency gains for routine tasks but introduce risks around accuracy, critical thinking, and research quality that require careful management. Benefits and risks are both substantial.
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-618493In my areas,, using blindly AI for research work can mislead to different and distorted result. This trend is common,, while it can reduce routine work pressure by automation. So my opinion is mixed.
- Somewhat optimistic it will help improve my area of expertiseuser-890708人工智能虽然给我的专业领域带了便利，但终究不能代替人的思维，很多的数据要依靠实验进行科学分析，有些没有涉及到科学的判断的基础工作可以依靠人工智能技术，但还是要适当审阅。
- Mixed — I see both significant benefits and significant risksuser-220562AI has answers to almost everything in my field, which would be the main benefit, as it provides a very broad knowledge base. However, giving isolated answers without integrating deeper knowledge of biochemistry, physiology, and nutrition (in my field) can be risky, since the information may be incomplete and imprecise.
