Accelerating scientific breakthroughs with AI collaboration
AI Co-Scientist is a multi-agent neural network developed by Google, built on the Gemini 2.0 framework, designed to replicate the scientific method and serve as a virtual collaborator for researchers. It assists scientists in generating novel hypotheses and research proposals, filtering the most promising concepts, and conducting comprehensive reviews throughout the research cycle. The system employs specialized agents—Generation, Reflection, Ranking, Evolution, Proximity, and Meta-review—that work together to iteratively generate, evaluate, and refine hypotheses based on specified research goals articulated in natural language. By leveraging automated feedback and tools such as web-search and specialized AI models, AI Co-Scientist enhances the quality and grounding of its outputs, ultimately accelerating scientific and biomedical discoveries while enabling researchers to navigate the complexities of modern scientific literature.
