The Debate
The question used to be hypothetical: Will artificial intelligence ever become an active participant in scientific research, rather than just a fancy calculator? That question just got a lot less hypothetical. In the span of a single week, we've seen an AI chemist independently improve a challenging drug-making reaction, AI coding agents take over the overnight training of physical robots, and Google's conversational medical AI match primary care physicians in managing complex...
