For this year’s annual HPS conference, we are seeking a variety of perspectives on the phenomenon of “scientific expertise”: How have sciences, expertise, and the state been co-constitutive and mutually reinforcing? How have (and how do) practices of quantification and categorization contribute to colonial expansion and reification of racial hierarchies?

The Craft of Science with AI: Evidence, Judgment, and Practice, convened online by Data & Society’s AI on the Ground program on March 19-20 2026, is a workshop about doing science when AI is in the loop. It asks a central, field-building question: What does it mean to do science with AI? What counts as evidence and theory-building explanation, how is scientific judgment exercised, and what gets foreclosed in the process?
As AI is integrated into scientific practice, the practice of science itself is changing. AI models that summarize, categorize, simulate, and predict not only sta...
