AI cannot automate science – a philosopher explains the uniquely human aspects of doing research
AI cannot automate science – a philosopher explains the uniquely human aspects of doing research A philosopher argues that AI cannot fully automate science due to its limitations in understanding human values, creativity, and social aspects of scientific inquiry. AI models can only learn from existing human-generated knowledge and lack a strong empirical link to […]

Team cracks mystery of how plants ‘do the twist’
Team cracks mystery of how plants ‘do the twist’ Researchers have cracked the mystery of how plants “do the twist” by growing twisted organs, such as roots that skew hard right or left to avoid obstacles. The team found that a change in gene expression in the plant epidermis, rather than a full null mutation, […]
