Who Gets Credit When AI Makes a Scientific Discovery?

The Signal

Microsoft Research’s new biology system, Quine, is designed to connect models, scientific tools, research literature and human researchers rather than treat biology as a stack of separate datasets. In work with researchers at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, the team used it to prioritize compounds predicted to shift tumor states, then reported experimental validation of several leading predictions. The system may help surface a promising idea. But who gets to call that...
