These changes affect research methodologies, educational practices, and the very fabric of various disciplines. Join us and expert panellists Cameron Neylon, Devika Madalli and Astrid Wissenburg for a thought-provoking panel discussion as we delve into: - How AI and data technologies are transforming various research disciplines - The opportunities and challenges of this new data-driven paradigm - Strategies for interdisciplinary collaboration and effective practices in research ethics The Research Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series is a collaborative platform uniting various initiatives dedicated to advancing responsible research practices. Central to this effort is the Coalition for the Advancement of Research Assessment (CoARA) ERIP Working Group, a dynamic alliance supported by the European University Association, Science Europe, and the European Commission, which emphasises ethical evaluation in data and AI research. The series also features contributions from the International Data Policy Committee of the International Science Council?s CODATA, advocating for open science and equitable data policies, as well as the Research Data Alliance?s Data Visitation Working Group. Additionally, the Ethical Data Initiative, led by the University of Exeter and the Technical University of Munich, brings a philosophical, historical, and social perspective to the discussions on data and research ethics. As part of the Research Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series, this event aims to foster an enriching dialogue among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers dedicated to navigating the complexities of an increasingly data-centric world.
