How can machines learn from interaction? Or how can intelligence, or, more generally, complex behavior, emerge from simple parts? I remain fond of these classical AI research questions, but I am also increasingly intrigued by what I like to call “Artificial X”: artificializing phenomena beyond intelligence,…

Generative AI (genAI) is increasingly being used at the various stages of research: from developing a research idea or grant proposal and defining the scope of a research project, to conducting research and presenting research results. These guidelines provide information on how genAI works, the possibilities,…
