"I think [AI tools] can be  helpful in so many ways for every step of the research, but maybe not for [the original] idea [you are exploring]. I don't think an AI tool can be very useful for that because an idea, it's something human really. You're wondering where you come from, for instance. You know, we are made of atoms that come from stars. And then we would like to know how this works. And it's not a program that is going to tell me like, hey, why don't you wonder where you come from? Why don't you have these philosophical questions? No, I want to have these questions. And then maybe I want AI to help me try to solve the problems." -Vianney Lebouteiller.  

This is the second episode of the AWC Podcast with CNRS researcher at CEA, Vianney Lebouteiller. Topics discussed include how PhD training has changed since COVID, the role of AI in the research process, and, as indicated in the quote above, a little philosophizing about the importance of the human element in the midst of the tools around us. 

Thank you to Martin Kilbinger for our music!
