AI in research methodology

This paper explores the transformative impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) on scientific research methodology. It contrasts the traditional linear research approach with emerging AI-driven paradigms, highlighting the closed-loop automation demonstrated by frameworks like DOLPHIN. We...
