How Researchers Use and Verify AI Coding Assistants: Tasks and Validation Practices in Scientific Programming
Generative AI has entered research programming, yet there is little evidence about which tasks researchers hand to it or how they decide whether its code is correct. We draw on 527 free-text responses to a 2025 survey of researchers who write code, most of them at U.S. universities. In each response, a researcher recou...
