Daniel Rock | The Free Hypothesis: AI and Shifted Bottlenecks in Science
Oct 26, 202612:00 PM - 1:00 PM

2026

Scientific progress is a key driver of economic growth and prosperity. There is great excitement- but also concerns- about the impacts of AI on science, but so far little data. We provide early insights on this from three data sources: a sample of 15 million Gemini interactions, an inventory of over 2,600 specialized AI models across disciplines, and a survey of over 600 scientists.
