Welcome to edition 17 of the Generative AI Belgium Meetup! 🚀

What should be the role of AI in scientific discovery? 🧬🧮

From AlphaFold 2's breakthrough in protein structure prediction in 2020 to AI systems tackling mathematical proofs today, AI keeps contributing to science in new ways.

Together with Bits in Bio, we'll explore this across computer science, biology and the science of science: from software-verifiable results to the slower feedback loops of the wet lab, and from generating hypotheses to automated research workflows.

But producing an answer, understanding it and proving it useful are different achievements.

A mathematical proof can sometimes be checked by software. A biological hypothesis still has to survive the lab. As generating ideas becomes easier, deciding which ones deserve our time and experimental budget becomes more important.

How do we collaborate with AI as a scientist?

  • 🔬 Can it help us ask better questions?
  • 🔁 How do we connect literature, hypotheses, experiments and feedback?
  • 🧠 How do we gain understanding alongside faster results?
  • 🤝 Can it challenge our assumptions instead of simply agreeing?

Join us on December 2 at the Wintercircus, Miriam Makebaplein 2 in Ghent, where Generative AI Belgium × Bits in Bio brings the AI and biology communities together for AI as a Scientist.

See you there!
