AI tools are expanding individual capabilities while contracting scientific attention, research finds Artificial intelligence promises to accelerate scientific discovery and open new frontiers of inquiry. But new research from James Evans (Faculty Co-Director of Novel Intelligence; Max Palevsky Professor of Sociology & Data Science; and Director of the Knowledge Lab) and colleagues reveals how AI tools are expanding individual scientists' capabilities but narrowing the collective scope of science.

AI boosts scientists…but could limit discovery? 🤯 New research suggests expanding individual power may *narrow* science's vast potential. ✨ #AIandScience

New AI model for drug design brings more physics to bear in predictions When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer solutions that are not physically sound.

🤯 AI seeks scientific breakthroughs…but sometimes suggests impossible physics! Can algorithms truly *discover*, or just remix what’s known? ✨ #AIandScience
