AI Agents as assistants in scientific research
di Sergio Cima
Researchers work with an increasing volume of scientific literature and ever more complex methodologies, and for this reason, they can rely on new support tools: Agent Laboratory, AgentRxiv, AI Scientist-v2, and Co-Scientist are AI-based systems designed to assist them in their work.
The landscape of contemporary scientific research presents several significant challenges. On one hand, the growing specialization requires increasingly vertical expertise, while on the other, the need for interdisciplinary studies demands the ability to navigate through different domains of knowledge. This paradox puts pressure on researchers, who must balance depth and breadth in their investigations.
