AI vs. Human Scientists: The New Race in Scientific Discovery
As AI models begin solving 80-year-old math problems and astronomers report working 100x faster, the scientific community is divided on whether AI will replace human researchers or supercharge them.

The Debate
What happens when the tools you built start to outpace you? That's the question gripping the scientific community right now, as artificial intelligence models begin making breakthroughs that once seemed the exclusive domain of human genius. On one side, researchers like UC Santa Cruz astronomer J. Xavier Prochaska admit AI has caught up — and is pushing him to work "100 times" faster than ever before. On the other, a contingent of mathematicians argues that AI models are "nowhere...
