This weekly update highlights how artificial intelligence agents are transforming scientific research and medical discovery across the globe. Researchers have developed AI systems that work like helpful assistants, automating tasks that used to take doctors and scientists weeks to complete. One major breakthrough involves an AI agent created by MIT that can turn simple sketches into detailed 3D computer models, helping engineers and designers work faster. In the medical field, AI agents are now helping doctors diagnose heart problems, identify genetic diseases, and design new cancer-fighting medicines. Scientists at universities discovered something important: when humans work together with AI agents, they actually do better work than AI working alone—creating higher quality results even though it takes a bit longer. These AI helpers are especially useful in drug discovery, where they can test millions of potential medicine combinations in computers before scientists test them in laboratories, potentially saving years of work. Hospitals are also using AI agents to analyze medical images faster and more accurately, which means patients can get diagnosed quicker and start treatment sooner. From analyzing brain scans to predicting how new medicines will affect the heart, these AI agents are helping scientists make discoveries that could improve millions of lives around the world.
