Perspectives: artificial intelligence and scientific autonomy: a policy agenda for emerging research systems
Abstract Artificial intelligence is becoming part of the infrastructure through which scientific knowledge is produced, yet access to computing, data, advanced models and expertise remains highly uneven. This Perspective argues that, for emerging research systems, the central science-policy challenge is not simply AI adoption but scientific autonomy: the capacity to choose, understand, adapt, evaluate and govern the technologies on which research increasingly depends. Scientific autonomy is not technological sel…
Access to computing, data, advanced models and expertise is highly uneven, so emerging research systems risk depending on technologies they cannot choose, adapt or govern, deepening asymmetries between research systems.
The source presents Brazil only as an illustrative case and frames its conclusion conditionally, so it offers a proposed framework rather than demonstrated outcomes of the policy agenda.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2178 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
