A new AI model, named Coscientist, has demonstrated the ability to autonomously plan and execute complex chemistry experiments. Developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, the system uses large language models to analyze scientific literature, design experimental procedures, and control robotic laboratory equipment to carry out the work. In tests, Coscientist successfully performed a Nobel Prize-winning chemical reaction and other multi-step processes. This advancement represents a significant step toward automating scientific discovery, potentially accelerating research in fields like medicine and materials science. The full details of the research are available in the published article at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06792-0.
