Braidwell Founders in TIME: AI Accelerating Science, Promise Lies in People
AndrewLBeam · x · 2026-09-23
- Braidwell Labs co-founders Alex Karnal and Brian Kreiter write in TIME, countering the narrative of what AI will take from the next generation.
- Their core argument: AI is accelerating certain areas of scientific discovery, and the real promise is not smarter machines but more capable people—human ingenuity plus machine intelligence helping scientists ask better questions and tackle previously unreachable problems.
- They acknowledge enormous uncertainty and that biology will keep humbling us, but remain optimistic about AI's role in fighting disease.
