François Fleuret: superintelligent AI will deduce more and experiment far less
francoisfleuret · x · 2026-11-12
Responding to the view that bio/medicine can't be frontally revolutionized by AI because wet-lab feedback loops are irreducibly slow, François Fleuret argues that a very smart AI's reasoning will encompass SOTA knowledge across chemistry, physics, biology and math — it will model and deduce more, and experiment far, far less. The quoted post contends that even vastly superhuman reasoning can't bypass growing cells, testing on mice, and injecting people, and that bio/med will only be revolutionized by advances in robotics and assay development.
