Scientific Research & Discovery Weekly AI News

September 22 - September 30, 2025

This weekly update brings exciting news about AI agents helping scientists make important discoveries. AI agents are smart computer programs that can work on their own to solve problems.

A big research report came out this week showing that one in ten large companies is now using AI agents for work. More than half of all big companies plan to try AI agents in the next year. This shows how quickly this technology is growing.

Google Cloud did a huge study of 3,466 business leaders from 24 countries. They found that 52% of big companies now use AI agents in their daily work. The companies that started using AI agents early are seeing much better results than others.

Scientists are using AI agents to solve real-world problems. Coca-Cola is working with MIT to use AI agents to help save orange trees in Florida. A disease called "citrus greening" has been killing orange trees. The United States now grows only 2.2 million tons of oranges, down from 5.5 million tons in 2015.

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi created an AI model that can predict dangerous solar storms up to four days before they happen. These storms can damage satellites, GPS systems, and power grids. Having four days of warning helps protect important technology.

Companies are also building new tools to help other people create AI agents. Algolia launched Agent Studio this week, which lets businesses build their own AI agents for searching information. This makes it easier for more people to use this powerful technology.
