Part 7/15:
Rodriques paints an honest picture: AI systems today still lag humans in judgment, especially in nuanced decision-making or interpretation of highly complex scenarios. Humans excel at holistic judgment, while AI's strength lies in containing and integrating vast amounts of data across disciplines. This is particularly vital in biomedical research, which requires understanding molecular biology, pharmacology, clinical trials, regulatory pathways, and socioeconomic factors.
He is optimistic about the trajectory: AI agents will continue to improve, eventually surpassing human experts in breadth and speed of hypothesis generation and data synthesis. They will not replace human judgment entirely but will serve as intelligent assistants, removing bottlenecks in scientific progress.
