AI and the Future of Social Science Infrastructures with Merce Crosas
In this episode, we talk with Mercè Crosas, Director of Computational Social Sciences at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and President of CODATA, about how AI is shaping the future of social science infrastructure. She reflects on her path into computational social science, explains what research infrastructures do and why they matter, and discusses how AI is already improving data access, discovery, and analysis. Mercè also explores what “AI-ready” infrastructures look like, how tools like Dataverse may evolve, and what skills researchers will need in an AI-driven research landscape.
