A new AI tool named "co-scientist" developed by Google has solved a complex microbiology problem in just 48 hours, a task that took Professor Jose R Penades a decade. The team had been studying superbugs and their resistance to antibiotics. During an informal shopping trip, Penades was shocked to discover the AI reached the same conclusions he had after years of research without any prior access to his unpublished work. The AI not only validated existing hypotheses but also introduced several new ones, leading to further lines of investigation.
I wrote an email to Google to say, 'you have access to my computer, is that right?'
It's not just that the top hypothesis they provide was the right one; it's that they provide another four, and all of them made sense.
