Japanese AI startup Sakana AI has released “The AI Scientist,” which introduces the first comprehensive system for fully automated scientific discovery and enables foundational models such as LLMs to conduct research independently.
Curated in collaboration with the Foerster Lab for AI Research at the University of Oxford and Jeff Clune and Cong Lu at the University of British Columbia, this AI system is capable of conducting independent scientific research and communicating its results.
The AI Scientist uses groundbreaking LLMs to generate research ideas, write code, conduct experiments, visualize results, and write scientific papers. It is also called an innovative framework that represents a significant step towards fully automated scientific discovery.
To ensure the quality of its work, the evaluation system conducts a simulated review process that mimics the peer review process of the human scientific community.
Remarkably, each idea generated by the AI was developed into a full article at a cost of less than $15 per article. To evaluate the generated articles, the researchers developed and validated an automated reviewer.
