The uses and social representations of Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Research: A Systematic Review

The aim of this review is to identify the main debates surrounding the adoption of AI in scientific research, specifically how AI is being used and socially represented by researchers in the production of scientific knowledge. The expected outcomes will be to analyse: 1) Methodological transformations, assessing how the implementation of AI tools has altered scientific practices and methods; 2) Epistemological transformations; 3) Potential inequalities in access to and appropriation of AI tools; 4) The ethical and social implications; 5) Emerging representations and discourses on AI.
