AI supervisor may soon replace human scientists

A Canadian company has developed an AI-powered android named "Supervisor" that currently supervises human researchers in a lab. Its creator believes it could replace human lab technicians within six months as it learns scientific procedures. The humanoid robot operates in Insilico Medicine's automated laboratory in China, monitoring human workers and learning from their actions. It is designed to perform tasks traditionally done by humans, potentially improving lab efficiency. While some experts express concerns about robots replacing human jobs, the focus is on using robots to enhance human productivity. The goal is to train humans to work alongside robots rather than replace them entirely.
