Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more integrated into scientific research, shaping how knowledge is produced, how research is conducted, and which questions are formulated and prioritized. Across these readings, AI appears as both a tool that can support speeding up tasks such as data analysis, hypothesis generation, and experiment design, and as a force that is influencing research practices, incentives, and areas of focus. This edition of selected readings show that while AI can increase the speed and scale of research, it also raises questions about how knowledge is developed, how scientific work is evaluated, and how reliance on AI may affect learning, diversity of ideas, and long-term scientific progress.
