No-boundary thinking enables the scientific community to reflect in a thoughtful manner and discover new opportunities, create innovative solutions, and break through barriers that might have otherwise constrained their progress. This concept encourages thinking without being confined by traditional rules, limitations, or established norms, and a mindset that is not limited by previous work, leading to fresh perspectives and innovative outcomes. So, where do we see the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in bioinformatics going in the next 30 years? That was the theme of a "No-Boundary Thinking" Session as part of the Mid-South Computational Bioinformatics Society's (MCBIOS) 19th annual meeting in Irving, Texas. This session addressed various areas of AI in an open discussion and raised some perspectives on how popular tools like ChatGPT can be integrated into bioinformatics, communicating with scientists in different fields to properly utilize the potential of these algorithms, and how to continue educational outreach to further interest of data science and informatics to the next-generation of scientists.
