AI system learnt, recreated award-winning chemical reactions in lab on its own, study describes

An AI-powered system called "Coscientist" has successfully learned and replicated Nobel Prize-winning chemical reactions in a laboratory setting. The system, developed by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, used large language models and software modules to process, manipulate, and generate natural language. By utilizing publicly available chemical information and specific data on molecules, Coscientist autonomously designed accurate procedures for complex reactions. The study highlights the potential for AI to accelerate scientific discoveries and improve experimental reliability, while also emphasizing the need for responsible and informed use of AI.

Man vs. machine: DeepMind’s new robot serves up a table tennis triumph

Google DeepMind has developed an AI-powered robotic table tennis player that can compete at an amateur human level. The system combines the ABB IRB 1100 industrial robot arm with custom AI software. While a human expert can defeat the bot, it demonstrates the potential for machines to master physical tasks that require split-second decision-making. The AI agent showed solid amateur-level play, winning 45% of its matches against varying skill levels. The system's architecture combines low-level skill controllers with a high-level decision-maker to adapt to opponents. The researchers believe the techniques developed can be applied to various tasks requiring quick reactions and adaptation to unpredictable human behavior.
