Scientific Progress and Artificial Intelligence: a Capabilities-Based Ethnographic Epistemology

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

Scientific Progress and Artificial Intelligence: a Capabilities-Based Ethnographic Epistemology Science is famous for its tools, which focus or empower abilities like seeing, calculating, remembering, manipulating, and predicting. Yet despite centuries of organized science and decades of science studies, there is still very little written about what scientific abilities are, or how tools extend them. This is striking, because scientific progress is clearly tied to scientists' increasing ability to solve problems. PACE proposes an interdisciplinary comparative study of what is being called a revolution in scientific ability: the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) methods. PACE has descriptive and normative aims. The main descriptive aim is to identify how AI is currently being used across four case studies (fusion reactor design, physical robotics, protein folding, and space science), using qualitati
