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…
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.
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.
