scientist

Definition

Increasingly a role assigned to a system rather than a person: an AI scientist proposes hypotheses, designs and runs experiments, analyses results and writes them up. The claim is about running the research loop, not about knowing a lot — which is why such systems are evaluated on end-to-end study quality rather than on question-answering accuracy.
