  Companies like Google say AI can accelerate scientific research. Many experts don't believe that's true, necessarily.

The article from TechCrunch, published on March 5, 2025, discusses the skepticism among experts regarding the readiness of AI to serve as a co-scientist in scientific research. Despite advancements in AI, particularly in machine learning and data analysis, experts argue that AI systems still lack the nuanced understanding, creativity, and critical thinking necessary for true scientific collaboration. They highlight issues such as AI's inability to handle complex, abstract reasoning, its potential for bias, and the ethical implications of AI-driven research. While AI can assist with data processing and pattern recognition, the consensus is that human oversight remains crucial for interpreting results, formulating hypotheses, and ensuring the ethical conduct of research. The article also touches on ongoing efforts to improve AI's capabilities in these areas, but concludes that AI is not yet at a stage where it can independently contribute to scientific discovery in a meaningful way.
