AI Scientist: The Future of Automated Research?
- Researchers have developed an AI Scientist that can read literature, formulate hypotheses, and write papers. - Created by Sakana AI and academic labs in Canada and the UK, it automates the full research cycle. - AI Scientist can only conduct research in machine learning and lacks the ability to perform lab work. - The system uses evolutionary computation to improve algorithms and conducts its own 'experiments'. - While the results are incremental, the AI Scientist's code and results are fully open for analysis.
