Why technology can change this work

  • AI accelerates pattern discovery and experimental analysis
  • laboratory platforms automate repetitive procedures
  • the main inputs and outputs already exist in a digital environment
  • models generate hypotheses and candidate materials or molecules

What protects the occupation

  • framing meaningful research questions
  • causality and evidence-quality assessment
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • methodological and interpretive accountability
