'San Francisco-based Tetsuwan Scientific recently closed a $2.5mn funding round and aims to create an AI robot scientist that can conduct research and physical experiments in a lab. Its chief executive, Cristian Ponce said robots would be able to reproduce experiments with greater accuracy than humans, freeing up scientists for creativity and discovery.
“Generative AI [has been] applied to stupid things that don’t matter, like back-office tasking or accounting software, but applying generative AI to scientific discovery is the most impactful thing that we could do,” Ponce said.'
