FUTUREHOUSE RELEASES AI TOOLS IT CLAIMS CAN ACCELERATE SCIENCE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

FutureHouse has launched four AI tools (Crow, Falcon, Owl, and Phoenix) designed to support scientific work. Crow can search scientific literature and answer questions about it, Falcon can conduct deeper literature searches, Owl looks for previous work in a given subject area, and Phoenix uses tools to help plan chemistry experiments. The Eric Schmidt-backed nonprofit aims to build an 'AI scientist' within the next decade. Its tools still make mistakes, which may make scientists wary of endorsing them for serious work.
