The PIDs4AI group at Knowledge Exchange believes PIDs are the solution for addressing AI-slop. We presented our vision in a previous session but we’ve hardly got all the answers. It’s time for you to step into the arena and help us figure out how to wrangle this horse! Join us for a quick recap of our presentation (for those of you who couldn’t make it) followed by a debate over the most controversial parts of AI and how we can use PIDs to mitigate the stampede it’s currently running through the research landscape. We want to hear your opinions and build a coalition of PID-enthusiasts whether you’re a junior rider or seasoned champion!
In “Modern Research Rodeo: Wrangling AI-slop using PIDs after the horse has bolted” representatives from the Knowledge Exchange group PIDs4AI presented their vision for how PIDs can address the proliferation of generative AI (genAI) outputs and their opaque provenance with a value-based approach that focuses on: transparency over detection, infrastructure over policy, normalisation over stigma, evolution over perfection and coordination over fragmentation. However, with ~84% of researchers worldwide reporting using AI tools in 2025 (according to Google's AI overview), we need more perspectives than the six European institutions who represent Knowledge Exchange.
The session will start with a brief recap of the previous presentation of our vision. This will provide enough context for participants who missed our previous session to participate (though we recommend both, if you really want to embed yourself in the topic). You will then be engaging with a series of dilemmas and provocative statements to help facilitate discussion and push this topic further. By the end of the session, you can expect new perspectives to have been illuminated, new collaborations and connections to be fostered and to have been inspired!
Come help shape this critical developing intersection of PIDs and genAI!
