What happens when you let an AI run a science lab (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are AIs running labs with little human intervention right now. And they’re doing experiments that human experts would never try. Is this changing what and how science gets done? In this episode, we speak with Antony “Ant” Rowstron, who has worked with ARIA (the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency) on their biggest bet to date. We cover: How ARIA funded twelve teams to build AI scientists that can run an entire research process: generating hypotheses, designing experiments, and carr
