๐Ÿ”ฅ Generative AI is reshaping scientific research. But do these systems actually understand science? In our new paper, we peek inside LLMs to understand how they encode scientific quality, revealing several monosemantic features that predict research quality.

All scientific publications are classified according to about 45 taxonomies, ontologies, and organisation systems. Our new survey in Quantitative Science Studies maps this landscape and its potential for AI-driven knowledge integration.

IA oltre l'intelligenza: la rivoluzione dell'Agire Artificiale Siamo ormai abituati a sentir parlare ovunque di Intelligenza Artificiale (IA): dai social ai telegiornali, dai film di fantascienza ai nostri smartphone. Ma che cosa significa davvero dire che una macchina รจ 'intelligente'? E soprattutto, dobbiamo davvero definirla cosรฌ? Luciano Floridi, uno dei maggiori filosofi contemporanei del digitale, ci suggerisce un cambio di prospettiva affascinante
