Towards Language-driven Scientific AI

She believed that we can be hopeful that the answer is yes and that it may happen sooner than we might expect. As scientific questions become significantly more complex, our capabilities to do scientific breakthroughs need to be augmented. Compare for instance the challenges of formulating Kepler's laws of planetary motion or the discovery of a cure for Polio with demonstrating the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems (Abbott et al., 2016) or the treatment of glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. While the former were achieved by a single scientist, the latter require large and interdisciplinary teams involving the collaboration of hundreds of scientists from different fields to work together during years to produce results.
