Buckle up, because we're not far away from autonomous research agents. It'll start with computational analysis, plot generation and creation of data discovery documents, but soon models will learn how to request simple physical experiments (sequencing some DNA, mass spec a sample, etc) and plan research based around the outcome.

Which will be so amazing. But there is already ai running physical experiments: https://youtu.be/L1UgdoP2aeg

But it has been done for at lest a decade or so I think
