AI in Science: Promise and Peril
We take a look at Google's new 'hypothesis generating' AI for biomedical researchers, and consider the threat from AI-generated images in scientific papers.
This week, Google has launched a new AI tool called Co-Scientist. We hear from one researcher who has tried it out with stunning results. But how much should we trust tools like this - and what are the dangers?
And what about the problem of AI generated text and images? We talk to an 鈥榠mage integrity analyst鈥� who hunts down fake or manipulated pictures in scientific papers.
Finally, the planets of the solar system are coming into an unusual alignment. Astronomer Royal for Scotland Catherine Heymans shares how to glimpse the planetary parade.
