New on our Science Blog: How AI is beginning to change scientific modeling.
What happened
Anthropic’s Science Blog features a guest post by Jakob Macke, Daniel Gedon, and Stefan Wahl on how AI is starting to help scientists write, run, fit, and revise scientific models as code. This can let AI explore many possible model structures and identify which explanations the data support.

Scientific models help researchers explain and predict real-world systems—like how a single nerve cell fires, or what happens when neutron stars collide. Recent advances have transformed how scientists fit complex models to data. But scientists still typically write the models manually, and usually need to weigh up several competing versions, each of which might explain the data in a different way.
In a guest post, Jakob Macke, Daniel Gedon, and Stefan Wahl describe how AI is starting to help with these parts of the process. By writing, running, fitting, and revising scientific models as code, AI can explore many possible model structures, and find out which explanations the data support.

The story so far
Anthropic’s Science Blog published a guest post by Jakob Macke, Daniel Gedon, and Stefan Wahl on how AI is beginning to help scientists build and revise scientific models as code. The authors say this approach lets AI explore many possible model structures and identify which explanations the data support.
