That question became more than theoretical recently, when an AI system from Japan’s Sakana AI generated a hypothesis, designed experiments and wrote a peer-rerviewed scientific paper on its conclusions, all without human intervention.

Titled Compositional Regularization: Unexpected Obstacles in Enhancing Neural Network Generalization, the paper was accepted as a Spotlight Paper at ICLR 2025, one of the field’s most prestigious machine learning gatherings. In a quiet way, this event marked a threshold: AI had...
