The AI and the Future of Social Science: An Inaugural address and Symposium on Computational Social Science will explore the transformative impact of AI on social science, examining how it reshapes research methodologies, challenges foundational disciplinary definitions, and introduces new subjects for study in an AI-integrated world. AI is not only a tool for data analysis but also an evolving subject of inquiry, influencing everything from economic models and financial systems to sustainability initiatives and societal norms. Bringing together academic, policymakers, and professionals, the symposium aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue on AI’s evolving role in the social sciences.
