The advance of information technology has brought the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI technology has become a transformative force in scientific research, which brings both benefits and potential challenges. This panel is organized by the Asia-Pacific iSchools Next Generation Committee. It aims to raise constructive discussion between senior and junior information scholars about the scientific research methods in the era of AI from four aspects: What are the changes brought by AI technology to research methods? What are the newly appeared research methods in the era of AI? How can we apply existing research methods to studies about AI technology? And what are the risks and challenges of applying AI technology to scientific research? Presentations, open discussions, and a collaborative virtual whiteboard will be included. It will benefit the iSchools community by applying AI-driven research methods to their studies or designing new research about AI technology.
