A recent article was featured in Nature revealing groundbreaking research conducted by Carnegie Mellon University researchers. The study showcased the utilization of GPT-4 in orchestrating complex chemical reactions through a robotic laboratory setup. This innovative system not only designs and codes but also executes various reactions (on its own) leading to the creation of compounds https://pachecotorgal.com/2024/01/03/gpt-4-projecta-planeia-e-executa-experiencias-complexas-sem-ajuda/
Building on this significant development, a recent article from UCLondon researchers, published yesterday, provides additional insights, shedding light on the impactful contributions of GPT-4 to the realm of scientific exploration:
"We tasked GPT-4... to write an original...manuscript, on a topic that is itself novel. It was able to conceive a research hypothesis, define an experimental protocol, produce photo-realistic images of printlets, generate believable analytical data from a range of instruments and write a convincing publication-ready manuscript with evidence of critical interpretation. The model achieved all this in less than 1h"
PS - In a recent article highlighted by The Economist, it was forecasted that generative AI is set to 'radically accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.' Nevertheless, the aforementioned magnitude of this acceleration may currently seem excessively exaggerated https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2023/09/the-economist-ai-can-accelerate.html
