Episode notes

This chapter explores the rapid pace of AI advancements and their potential for new capabilities. It delves into the challenges faced when using GPT to generate synthesis protocols, including limitations in accuracy and verification. The chapter also highlights collaboration with OpenTrons and the implications of updating GPT-4 retrieval for cloud labs.

In this episode, Nathan sits down with Gabe Gomes, Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and researcher behind Coscientist: the first non-organic, intelligent being to design, plan, and execute a chemistry experiment. They discuss how Coscientist allows scientists to use natural language to control remote experiments on Emerald Cloud Lab, how it will democratize scientific knowledge, and accelerate the pace of research.
