FutureHouse, a nonprofit backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, has launched a new AI platform to help scientists navigate vast amounts of data and accelerate new discoveries. The platform uses what FutureHouse calls the first “superintelligent scientific agents,” outperforming human workers in tasks such as reviewing literature and distinguishing between reliable and unreliable sources. Agents for hypothesis generation and experimental planning are also set for launch. Four of these specialized AI agents are being included in the platform’s launch, each designed to target a different element of scientific discovery.
