The history of humanity has been one of accelerating scientific and technological progress. Now, by amplifying the cognition and capabilities of scientists with AI, we can dramatically step up the pace of discovery.
By the very nature of discovery, we cannot know what we will learn. The coming advances in life and brain sciences and medicine alone will be absolutely transformative, let alone those in energy, materials science, food, and more.
This framework is a high-level distillation of a few of the cognitive tools and techniques for GenAI to assist scientists. As always it is a Beta version 1, please let me know any feedback or input to improve it!

Generative AI in Scientific Discovery
Observation and Curiosity
Example application: Generative Summaries: AI creating summaries and highlighting key findings from large datasets or experimental results to prompt new questions.
In practice: Analyzing oceanographic data to highlight unusual patterns in marine life migration, suggesting new areas of study.
