The Role of Al as a Team Member in Scientific Research

The Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) at UNC-Chapel Hill is excited to announce the next event from Accelerating Collaborative Team Science (ACTS) — a Team Science educational program.

ACTS functions as a connector, bridging the gap between researchers, coordinating centers, and other parties involved in practicing and promoting collaborative team science theory and practical applications across the scientific research landscape. With twenty years of experience coordinating team science efforts, RENCI provides a unique vantage point for those seeking to understand the role of the coordinating center and the challenges specific to large, geographically dispersed scientific teams.

Join retired IBM and Apple executive Jim Spohrer as he reviews the history of artificial intelligence and the challenges of keeping up with accelerating change, such as fixing the "hallucination" problem, addressing energy consumption, and answering vital questions regarding the ownership and control of Al tools. Then, he will lead attendees through an exploration of possible future roles for Al as a team member in scientific research. Learning to invest wisely in these changes will require significant advances in the science of team science.
