Thank you for your valuable feedback and question.
You mentioned the possible impact of Al on broadening the range of scientific fields. You nailed it, and for sure AI can help since it can consider multidisciplinary sources and also experts from diverse backgrounds.
Moreover, the key to diversifying our scientific research lies in embracing curiosity, being open to new ideas, and actively seeking out diverse subjects. In this direction, I found online colloquiums on different but related subfields helpful in forming fresh perspectives and insights.
