Human scientists and engineers can still outperform agents based on an advanced artificial intelligence model in a game that mimics the process of scientific discovery. But this simulation could ultimately help researchers develop AI agents that can outcompete humans.
AI models are developing a reputation for science discovery – they can, for instance, predict how protein molecules will interact – but they still perform best when trained to solve a particular type of problem. The game-like DiscoveryWorld simulator, developed by Peter Jansen at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in…
