A potential problem with AI is that it would have too much confidence in a “fact” from the literature which is actually not true, leading it to eliminate a potentially good idea. As Crick says to Watson in the "Life History" movie: "A wrong fact looks as hard as a right fact."

The mathematician does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; they study it because they delight in it and they delight in it because it is beautiful. - Henri Poincare

The Big A.I. Gamble: Humanity is taking a big gamble – mostly without acknowledging it – that by each of us going right away to generative A.I. with our most important tasks we might become overall less creative and make fewer discoveries.

In Nature Biotechnology, CDS-affiliated Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher discuss how openness fuels discovery. They highlight the evolutionary nature of research, where ideas evolve through variation and selection, and advocate for embracing a creative process. nature.com/articles/s4158…

This is a very difficult time for Israelis and Iranians. If you have friends and colleagues that are affected, reach out to see how they're doing.

What do we want? Discoveries! When do we want them? Now! Join us in Prague on Monday for a workshop on ‘Night Science’ - the creative scientific process - to learn the tools that experienced scientists know but which we need to do a better job passing on to the next generation!
