AI technology can help researchers with measurement to create data, finding robust patterns, synthesizing possible explanations, deriving logical implications of a theory, as well as checking the internal consistency of an existing theory. This raises exciting opportunities as well as questions about the distinctive advantage of humans in the research process, along with the ethicality of using these technologies. Rather than shy away from these questions, our discussion in this webinar will aim to address them.
