Opportunities in Open Science, Metascience, and Artificial Intelligence

This workshop report from CSET and ORCA explores how artificial intelligence can support open science and metascience, emphasizing responsible integration and shared infrastructure. Experts highlighted AI’s potential to enhance research transparency, automate metadata curation, extract scientific insights, and improve accessibility. However, the report also underscores the importance of human oversight, ethical safeguards, and domain-specific evaluation to ensure AI tools complement rather than compromise scientific rigor. The report lays out actionable priorities for collaborative research, including evaluation benchmarks, case studies, and the development of open-source AI tools.
