AI Applications in Science

Google's AI 'Co-Scientist' Solves Superbug Problem: Google's AI 'co-scientist' identified a novel hypothesis in just two days, which had eluded scientists for a decade. The AI suggested that a family of mobile genetic elements could steal tails from a broad range of phages, explaining their widespread presence in bacteria. This insight, confirmed by subsequent experiments, significantly accelerated the research by providing a testable idea.
