AI may soon make Nobel-level discovery, scientists predict

AI-powered science is advancing so quickly that it may soon make a discovery worthy of a Nobel Prize without human intervention, scientists predicted. The Nobel Turing Challenge was established in 2016 to offer a prize for a machine that can achieve a discovery equivalent to the most cutting-edge human research. For a discovery to count, the AI has to oversee the entire project, from hypothesis generation to experiment design to data analysis. M…

Will AI ever win its own Nobel? Some predict a prize-worthy science discovery soon - 3 Quarks Daily

Jenna Ahart in Nature: Demis Hassabis (left) and John Jumper (middle) won a Nobel prize for the AI model AlphaFold. In 2016, Hiroaki Kitano, a biologist and chief executive at Sony AI, challenged researchers to accomplish just that: to develop an AI system so advanced that it could make a discovery worthy of a Nobel prize. Calling it the Nobel Turing Challenge, Kitano presented the endeavour as the grand challenge for AI in science1. A machine w…
