Sakana AI’s ‘AI Scientist’ conducts research autonomously, challenging scientific norms

Sakana AI's groundbreaking 'AI Scientist' system autonomously conducts end-to-end scientific research, challenging traditional scientific methods and raising questions about the future of discovery.

“We propose and run a fully AI-driven system for automated scientific discovery, applied to machine learning research,” the team reports in their newly released paper. While AI may excel at processing vast amounts of data and identifying patterns, human intuition, creativity, and ethical judgment remain crucial in steering scientific inquiry towards meaningful and beneficial outcomes. The challenge now lies in harnessing the power of AI-driven research while preserving the irreplaceable elements of human scientific inquiry — creativity, intuition, and ethical consideration — that have driven progress for centuries.
