April 27, 2025 — The International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) launched its Workshop on Agentic AI for Science today in Singapore, focusing on AI-driven hypothesis generation, validation, and scalable scientific discovery frameworks. Key themes include multi-agent collaboration mechanisms, ethical governance, and continual learning systems for AI agents in research environments. Organizers highlighted unresolved challenges in validation and reproducibility of AI-generated scientific results, urging advancements in automatic domain-knowledge integration and computational efficiency for agentic systems. Meanwhile, Dataiku’s Universal AI Platform recently introduced tools for enterprise-scale AI agent governance, addressing uncontrolled agent sprawl and quality inconsistencies. Their approach emphasizes grounding agents in trusted data and embedding them within existing operational workflows.
