💥 What an insightful keynote by Mark Gahegan at our AI4SC bridge in Singapore! Mark gave an outlook on a very broad topic on the influence of AI on the future of research: generative AI is probably the biggest disruption for researchers in their life time.

🪧 I highly recommend checking out Mark's presentation, it's already on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/18309519

💐 Thank you Mark for the amazing talk!
