A dedicated unit, a debate in the European Research Area Forum and pilot projects are in the works, as the Commission looks to set European guidelines for science’s AI revolution. Now member states need to ‘wake up’ to ensure rules don’t diverge

Shared values and principles did not stop the US and Europe going down different paths in data protection legislation. There is a risk that despite moves to promote harmonisation the same thing will happen in AI

As AI tools spread in the scientific world, we risk the tech giants coming to dominate the resulting ‘meta’ science. It’s time to ensure public research stays in the public sphere, argues Ramon Wyss of KTH

Tools like ChatGPT can give instructions on how to find, synthesise and order deadly pathogens, albeit incomplete ones. Biologists now want more involvement in the training and testing of AI models, while some worry that science’s culture of openness might need to change

Leaked document shows head of RTD Marc Lemaître is planning unit to focus on how AI can increase productivity in science whilst preventing its misuse

EU research funding is spread thinly across thousands of poorly aligned projects, while member states are vying with each other for dominance in AI. Overcoming national interests and working at scale are necessary to build a successful sector

AI could be used to falsify data. It could also check the quality of journal papers. New guidance says AI has potential benefits, but maintaining integrity of research requires scientists and institutions to be transparent about its use

Research should be outside the scope of the AI Act, but MEPs have agreed that the EU legislation should impose a total ban on the implementation of AI systems for biometric surveillance, emotion recognition and predictive policing

Policymakers, companies and civil society on both sides of the Atlantic worry that in the absence of proper regulation, generative artificial intelligence will pose significant threats. The Commission is promoting a voluntary code of conduct to fill the legislative void
