Scaling AI-guided experiments beats scaling biological data, researcher argues at ICML
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-10-08
While scaling biological data generation is exciting, Yusuf Roohani argues the bigger gains come from scaling AI-guided experimentation: scaling data < scaling AI-guided experiments.
He poses a key question: how do we make experimental velocity the metric that determines which AI-for-biology models have the greatest impact? He's attending ICML in Korea and inviting discussions.
