About this paper
Shiro Takagi
The authors examine what it means for a machine to conduct research. They provisionally characterize research as an attempt to bring about epistemic achievements new to a society, including knowledge and understanding. They distinguish formal correctness, knowledge for that society, inquiry conduct, and social assessment. A checked result alone does not establish research or who carried it out.
