AI for Research: DeepMind's Co-Scientist Helps Scientists

DeepMind has released Co-Scientist, a multi-agent AI assistant built on Gemini to speed up scientific research. The system generates and refines hypotheses, helping scientists find new solutions considerably faster. In a liver fibrosis case, the AI proposed repurposing a known drug. In lab tests, it successfully blocked 91% of scarring, a key pathological process in the development of the chronic disease.
