AI Flooded Scientific Journals with Papers—and That's Not Necessarily Good Yet

The spread of generative AI has sharply increased the flow of scientific papers while reducing their quality.

AstraZeneca uses machine learning to screen candidates, automate experiments, and build a "laboratory of the future." The company is moving toward fully AI-generated protein sequences (de novo design) with safety prediction through virtual clinical trials.
