INESC ID researchers among the World’s Top 2% Most Influential Scientists
Stanford has released the World’s Top 2% Most Influential Scientists lists, featuring fourteen INESC ID researchers among the 200 thousand World’s most cited scientists.
This annual recognition comprises two lists naming top scientists, doctors, engineers, and mathematicians, one referring to 2022 most influential scientists and the other focusing on a career-long impact.
Compiled by Stanford University (USA) and published by Elsevier, scientists are classified in 22 scientific fields and 174 subfields. The lists are based on data from Scopus – the reference database of article abstracts and citations for journals and other academic publications – which covers nearly 36 377 titles (22,794 active titles and 13,583 inactive titles) from approximately 11,678 publishers.
This year, a total of fourteen INESC-ID researchers have been appointed, some of them featuring in both categories:

Summary: “As with the impacts of Artificial intelligence (AI) on people’s day-to-day lives, the impacts for international peace and security include wide-ranging and significant opportunities and challenges. AI can help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, but its dual-use nature means that peaceful applications can also be misused for harmful purposes such as political disinformation, cyberattacks, terrorism, or military operations. Meanwhile, those researching and developing AI in the civilian sector remain too often unaware of the risks that the misuse of civilian AI technology may pose to international peace and security and unsure about the role they can play in addressing them. Against this background, UNODA and SIPRI launched, in 2023, a three-year educational initiative on Promoting Responsible Innovation in AI for Peace and Security. The initiative, which is supported by the Council of the European Union, aims to support greater engagement of the civilian AI community in mitigating the unintended consequences of civilian AI research and innovation for peace and security. As part of that initiative, SIPRI and UNODA are organising a series of capacity building workshops for STEM students (at PhD and Master levels). These workshops aim to provide the opportunity for up-and-coming AI practitioners to work together and with experts to learn about a) how peaceful AI research and innovation may generate risks for international peace and security; b) how they could help prevent or mitigate those risks through responsible research and innovation; c) how they could support the promotion of responsible AI for peace and security.”
