Experimentation is critical to scientific discovery, but moving from hypothesis to insight often takes years. I recently visited Lila Sciences, where AI and robotics are being used in the lab to speed up that process—by generating hypotheses, running experiments, learning from results, and deciding what to test next in real time. In short: These technologies are help scientists explore more ideas, more quickly.
