Great news for research folks! If you’re in academia, you must read this.
Just now at the Google I/O conference, DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis dropped a line that sent a shiver down my spine:
“Scientific progress is becoming computable.”
He’s not just treating AI as a productivity tool — he’s directly defining it as the infrastructure layer of science.
A new system called Gemini for Science has just launched:
Helping researchers read papers, write code, and quickly generate hypotheses.
The real turning point is this: scientific research itself is starting to iterate at scale, just like software.
In the past, science relied on sudden flashes of genius and long experimental trial-and-error. Now AI is making “discovery” itself engineerable, programmable, and accelerated.
What AI is truly going to change isn’t just how we work — it’s how we do science itself.
