This podcast is the audio from the SIG 93 AERA seminar held online September 21st 3pm-4:30pm.

Title: “A discussion about AI as a disruptive technology in research and PETE.”

The seminar is based on a recent open-access article in JTPE about AI (the authors will be the panelists/facilitators). If you have not had much experience with AI in research, here is a link to a video we made for a symposium this summer that can give you a 15min overview of what AI can do in PETE and research in PE.
