'AI models are capable of novel research': OpenAI's chief scientist on what to expect
Briefly

OpenAI, renowned for its AI chatbot ChatGPT, has developed advanced reasoning models assisting in logical tasks across various fields. The firm's chief scientist, Jakub Pachocki, anticipates a future where these models contribute significantly to novel research autonomously. Currently, while AI assists users, it often requires guidance. Tools like OpenAI's Deep Research can already independently synthesize information for short periods. Despite debates over energy use and proprietary models, OpenAI continues to push the boundaries of AI applications in diverse domains like science and mathematics.
Today you can talk to a model, but it's only an assistant that needs constant guidance. I expect this will be the primary thing that changes.
We already see that something like OpenAI's Deep Research is capable of working unsupervised for 10 or 20 minutes and producing something useful.
