Artificial Intelligence Tools Expand Scientists' Impact but Contract Science's Focus
Artificial Intelligence Tools Expand Scientists' Impact but Contract Science's Focus
Artificial intelligence boosts individual scientists' output, citations and career progression, but collectively narrows research diversity and reduces collaboration, concentrating work in data-rich areas and potentially limiting broader scientific exploration.
