Scientific Research & Discovery Weekly AI News
April 7 - April 15, 2025This week saw big steps in AI agents helping scientists around the world. A major science conference in Singapore announced new AI tools to create and test science ideas. In the UK, a company called Clarivate launched AI Agents to help researchers find papers and plan projects faster.
Google shared a new system where different AI agents can work together like a team, even if they were made by different companies. Another AI named CodeScientist discovered six new science ideas that experts say could lead to real breakthroughs.
Schools are getting help too - the University of Maryland showed how AI can protect forests and help doctors read medical scans. Google also tested a special AI co-scientist that helps human researchers think of new experiments.
While AI is doing more science work, people are making rules to keep it safe and fair. New tests like PaperBench check if AI can copy top scientists' work properly. Companies are also creating tools so schools can build their own AI helpers without coding.
