AI & Science: What Is the Future of Discovery?
33 scientists responded to the question: “What is the future of scientific discovery in this new age of AI?” CosmicAI PI and Director Stella Offner was among them.
The Winter/Spring 2026 issue of Dædalus, “AI & Science: What Is the Future of Discovery?” brings together “perspectives from life sciences and medicine, cognitive science and neuroscience, the physical and earth sciences, chemistry and materials science, computer science, mathematics and the social sciences.”
In the piece, Stella discusses “why the field of astronomy is a particularly fertile ground for AI development, the potential revolutionary gains possible for scientific analysis and discovery, how AI developments within astronomy can accelerate AI advancements more broadly, and the current roadblocks to fully AI-integrated astronomy.”
