Stanford Researchers Debate Whether AI Can Guide Humans Through Wet-Lab Experiments
Anshul Kundaje and suragnair debated AI-guided wet labs: Kundaje argued many experiments require tacit 'feel' that novices can't learn from AI instructions, while suragnair proposed a human-AI loop where AI advises, humans execute, and errors are observable for RL-based correction.
