AI agents and human scientists. A conversation with Dr. James Zou, Stanford University. Podcast

The scientist you will hear more about in this podcast is Dr. James Zou of Stanford University, who works at the interface between AI and biomedicine. I asked him about his work and his perspective on AI agents. AI agents can determine why a software pipeline broke and fix it, and it's possible to build a personified AI agent who is a little like your favorite science hero. As AI agents and AI co-scientists gain more autonomy, and I'll talk a little bit more about what that actually means, I wonder how the role of human scientists might change.
