This essay nicely encapsulated my thoughts about using "AI" in research (or in researcher training). Written from the point-of-view of astrophysics, but quite universally applicable: https://ergosphere.blog/posts/the-machines-are-fine/

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

"The failures are the curriculum. The error messages are the syllabus. Every hour you spend confused is an hour you spend building the infrastructure inside your own head that will eventually let you do original work. There is no shortcut through that process that doesn't leave you diminished on the other side."

The machines are fine. I'm worried about us.

On AI agents, grunt work, and the part of science that isn't replaceable.

On Violations of LLM Review Policies – ICML Blog

Harald KlinkeMar 18
DHd 2026 in Vienna showed how vibrant and collaborative the Digital Humanities community has become: from Library Labs and open data workflows to critical debates on AI, data, and epistemology.
But it also raises a key question: are we building tools or critically shaping the role of data and AI in knowledge production?
A strong reminder that Digital Humanities must remain both methodological and reflexive.
