A new paper about AI in Materials Discovery has gained a lot of attention - it reports a big increase in productivity of scientists using AI tools, and interesting secondary effects of using AI for science. But do the technical claims stack up? Let's see...
This is the best paper written so far about the impact of AI on scientific discovery
