Um, I just wonder, I ha- I've heard you speak a little bit about this actually at a, at a, in a different forum, but h- how do you see AI impacting possibly positively but also possibly negatively in the, the research and innovation space?

space?I think AI is gonna change everything about how we do research.

And one area I suppose I've spoken about is how research is assessed and funded.

So I think for a very long period of time, you know, the quality of research has been judged based off what we write and what we submit and, and what is re-read by others and, and peer reviewed.

And that's how decisions for funding have been made for a very long period of time.

And I-- it's clear from my own work, I work a lot with the European Research Council, uh, in, in a panel chair role, and it's very clear now that, that that approach is, is struggling under, uh, the impact of AI.

So A-AI can be very useful.

Um, kind of just finishing the last bit really, um, looking at the big picture, um, your vision, what's your vision for research here at the University of Galway by 2030? Where do you want us to be?
