Towards end-to-end automation of AI research

Abstract The automation of science is a long-standing ambition in artificial intelligence (AI) research 1,2 . Although the community has made substantial progress in automating individual components of the scientific process, a system that autonomously navigates the entire research life cycle—from conception to publication—has remained out of reach. Here we present a pipeline for automating the entire scientific process end to end. We present The AI Scientist, which creates research ideas, writes code, runs expe…

Current reading — gain

The AI Scientist pipeline autonomously executed the entire research lifecycle and produced a manuscript that cleared initial peer review at a selective machine learning workshop.

Current reading — problem

Autonomous research systems could overwhelm peer review infrastructure and pollute scientific literature with low-quality or noisy papers.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0163 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
