About this episode
Peggy Smedley and James Zou, professor, Stanford University, talk about AI (artificial intelligence) agents and how AI is being used in scientific discovery. He says it is important to think about the difference between AI as a tool and AI as a collaborator, or an agent.
They also discuss:
- What scientific problems are best suited for AI agents to solve—and which are still out of reach.
- How to ensure everything being produced is accurate and trustworthy.
- If the role or the degree to which students are entering university changed because of AI.
