The emergence of large language models (LLMs) and assisted artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have revolutionized the way in which we interact with technology. A recent symposium at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute explored the current practical applications of LLMs in medical research and canvassed the emerging ethical, legal and social implications for the use of AI-assisted technologies in the sciences. This paper provides an overview of the symposium's key themes and discussions delivered by diverse speakers, including early career researchers, group leaders, educators and policy-makers highlighting the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for scientific researchers and educators as we continue to explore the potential of this cutting-edge and emerging technology.
