Three Roles of AI in Research

AI is not just a search engine. It participates in the research process in three distinct, powerful capacities.

The Assistant

Organizes literature, schedules tasks, and drafts administrative communications.

The Analyst

Finds patterns in data, summarizes complex texts, and critiques methodological approaches.

The Toolmaker

Generates code, builds scrapers, and creates custom utilities to handle research data.

"We must move beyond seeing AI as a magic box that gives answers, and start seeing it as a collaborator that can be shaped."
Dominik Lukes
