The EU’s new AI guidelines tell researchers to document their AI use transparently. Most don’t have a structured way to do it. The AIR Framework does electv.net/2026/05/20/t...

If a reviewer asked you to specify exactly how AI was used in your research project, would you have a clear answer? AIR is a structured framework to help researchers make AI use explicit, transparent and defensible. Download AIR & the How to use it guide here (CC BY 4.0): doi.org/10.6084/m9.f...

Enjoying playing with the new “Flow state” feature on Leonardo.Ai - a whole range of images from a single prompt & you can create similar styles. Not every image is perfect but made several gems! Creating astronaut images seems to be popular so I started with that… #GenAI #Tools #creativity

Here's an article by @kakape.bsky.social on the migration of scientists to Bluesky from X. One thing stood out to me: there's a button for sharing on X at the top (along with Linkedin, etc.), but no blue butterfly to be seen! www.science.org/content/arti...

A new study has found that AI-generated poetry is now more human than human – rated as more beautiful & rhythmic than the work of classic poets like Shakespeare & Dickinson. Can AI truly 'create' or are we just drawn to its simplicity? doi.org/10.1038/s415... #AI #Poetry #GenerativeAI #science🧪

REF 2029 is ‘redefining research excellence’ says Jessica Corner. www.researchprofessional.com/0/rr/news/uk...
Screenshot of linked article reads “The next Research Excellence Framework is
"developing a different mindset around what research excellence is", according to the executive chair for Research England amid debate on scrapping the framework.
Jessica Corner told Universities UK's Global
Research and Innovation Conference on 31 October that REF 2029 was "not only about how we calibrate the outputs, on citation or on a peer review basis, it's also about the excellent environment we're creating for our researchers"
