Certainly! Here are some key points from recent research on
**Artificial Intelligence (AI)**
1. **Risks in AI for Scientific Research**:
- Yale anthropologist Lisa Messeri highlights the risks associated with AI applications in scientific research. While AI can enhance productivity, it may also lead to a reduction in deep understanding and learning¹.
- Psychologist Molly Crockett and Lisa Messeri argue that AI poses long-term epistemic risks to scientific practices, beyond just obvious errors².
2. **Insilico's AI-Driven Drug Discovery**:
- Insilico, a company in the field of drug development, has revealed its AI-driven process. The paper aims to convince skeptics by showcasing the quality of AI-discovered and designed drugs backed by scientific data³.
3. **Predictions by AI Researchers**:
- In a large survey, 2,778 AI researchers predict milestones by 2028. These include autonomously constructing payment processing sites, creating indistinguishable songs, and fine-tuning large language models⁵.
4. **Other Recent AI Developments**:
- Ultraviolet-laser processing enables intricate microstructures for biohybrid actuators⁴.
- Innovations in depth-from-focus/defocus improve computer vision systems⁴.
- Ancient sea creatures inform soft robotics design⁴.
- AI alters middle managers' work⁴.
- An AI-driven system autonomously learns Nobel Prize-winning chemical reactions⁴.
These findings highlight both the potential and challenges of AI in various domains. Researchers continue to explore its capabilities and impact on society.
