autonomous-discovery

Today in AI for life science: a general-purpose ‘AI biologist’ matches human researchers across 25 subfields, cell models generalize across species, and the newest frontier model ships bio-tuned — and on a government leash.

Today in AI for life science: multi-agent ‘AI co-scientists’ land in Nature with real biomedical targets, an AI agent takes over the cryo-EM pipeline and finds a new structural state, and validation stays the moat.

Today in AI for life science: smart microscopy closes the loop between seeing and deciding, an AI autonomously ran tens of thousands of biology experiments in a cloud lab, and the rules are racing to keep up.

Today in AI for life science: an AI system that autonomously discovers and validates a drug candidate, frontier labs buying into biology, a clear-eyed benchmark of cell-segmentation foundation models, and the case for composable multimodal models.
