From Classical Construction to AI in Science: editorial reflections

Resumo

Dear reader,

From philosophers to historians of science, the commonality of their findings and perceptions has been concerning the “modus cogitandi” and the “modus operandi”, from individual scientists or specialized research groups. The depth of the theoretical spectrum, as well as the methodological possibilities, have always been determined by human aptitude in scientific research activities. Obviously, aptitudes are determined by academic backgrounds, by the economic conditions available to laboratories, by observation and experiment niches, by the capacity to aggregate research inputs and by economic interests, which are more precisely in the case of technological research.
