DESCRIPTION:Recent breakthroughs in large language model-based artificial i
 ntelligence (AI) have captured the public’s interest in AI more broadly.
  With the growing adoption of these technologies in professional and educa
 tional settings\, public dialog about their potential impacts on the workf
 orce has been ubiquitous. It is\, however\, difficult to separate the publ
 ic dialog about the potential impact of the technology from the experience
 d impact of the technology in the research software engineer and data scie
 nce workplace. Likewise\, it is challenging to separate the generalized an
 xiety about AI from its specific impacts on individuals working in special
 ized work settings. \n\nAs research software engineers (RSEs) and those in
  adjacent computational fields engage with AI in the workplace\, the reali
 ties of the impacts of this technology are becoming clearer. However\, muc
 h of the dialog has been limited to high-level discussion around general i
 ntra-institutional impacts\, and lacks the nuance required to provide help
 ful guidance to RSE practitioners in research settings\, specifically. Sur
 prisingly\, many RSEs are not involved in career discussions on what the r
 ise of AI means for their professions. \n\nDuring this BoF\, we will hold 
 a structured\, interactive discussion session with the goal of identifying
  critical areas of engagement with AI in the workplace including: current 
 use of AI\, AI assistance and automation\, AI skills and workforce develop
 ment\, AI and open science\, and AI futures. This BoF will represent the f
 irst of a series of discussions held jointly by the Academic Data Science 
 Alliance and the US Research Software Engineer Association over the coming
  year\, with support from Schmidt Sciences. The insights gathered from the
 se sessions will inform the development of guidance resources on these top
 ic areas for the broader RSE and computational data practitioner communiti
 es.
