Brief
MIT Technology Review argues that recent AI advances do not imply the end of scientific discovery and that scientific progress still requires reasoning, not just large-scale data. The piece situates current AI excitement alongside past predictions that science was near completion by prominent scientists.
Why It Matters
If science needs reasoning beyond data, relying solely on data-driven AI could lead researchers to overestimate AI’s ability to replace human scientific judgment.
