Researchers have developed an AI Scientist that can read literature, formulate hypotheses, and write papers.
Created by Sakana AI and academic labs in Canada and the UK, it automates the full research cycle.
AI Scientist can only conduct research in machine learning and lacks the ability to perform lab work.
The system uses evolutionary computation to improve algorithms and conducts its own 'experiments'.
While the results are incremental, the AI Scientist's code and results are fully open for analysis.
