Summary
Discovery is essential to natural science. But what conditions need to be fulfilled for scientists to legitimately announce a discovery? The book will address this all too neglected question and engage in detail with the recent emergence of AI-assisted discovery. The book will highlight challenges for the reward system of science springing from AI-assisted discovery in particular.
