Autoscience is using AI to make AI models

Zoom in: Autoscience is still very young with a tiny team, but already claims to have produced a peer-reviewed research paper with limited human involvement.

• The goal is to keep spin up specialized models in virtually any research field, including life sciences.

What they're saying: "Just like how AI systems have become very good at competitive chess and competitive programming, we are building AI systems that are very good at building other machine learning models," Autoscience co-founder and CEO Eliot Cowan tells Axios. "We expect that, just like in those fields, these systems are going to become better than humans at doing that."

Other investors include Toyota Ventures, Perplexity Fund, and MaC Ventures.
