"The central takeaway is that AI scientists will not only accelerate science. Without governance, they will accelerate science's blind spots before they accelerate its discoveries."

Dead Science Walking: Publication Bias and the AI Scientist Pipeline

AI scientist systems are beginning to automate the production, evaluation, and iteration of scientific hypotheses. Their promise is speed; their risk is that speed also scales errors embedded in the s...
