This morning, I had the distinct honour of giving the opening keynote at #RSECon26: "Where does the rigour go? Research software and the future of trustworthy science" The core argument: AI is making it dramatically cheaper to produce plausible scientific outputs, without necessarily making them cheaper to check. The scarce resources are shifting towards attention, judgment, and verification. This is no doubt a disruptive time for research software engineers and research more generally. For Research Software Engineers specifically I think that creates some important new opportunities around: encoding domain judgment, building verification infrastructure, connecting agents to reality, and helping ensure that the emerging verification layer for science remains open. Thanks to everyone at RSECon26 for the thoughtful discussion, and especially to the many people whose work and ideas I that heavily influenced this talk. Link to slides in first comment
