In a recent position paper, Google DeepMind researchers argue that better reasoning alone will not scale AI-led discovery: experiments and validation are scarce. They propose scientific agent economies to allocate resources and assign credit.
Our view: when hypotheses become cheap, choosing which one earns the next experiment becomes a core research decision. Who sets that priority—and what evidence must an agent provide before spending the budget?
