🔬 DeepMind’s 800-Year Leap: Did AI Really Discover 380,000 New Materials?

Google DeepMind claimed to compress 800 years of materials science into a single project. But is the story that simple? In this episode, we break down the GNoME project and the intense debate it sparked:

🤖 The AI Engine: How a "flywheel" of prediction and verification unlocked a new atlas of materials.🔬 The Robot Lab: Did the autonomous lab validate the AI's wildest ideas, or just play it safe?🤔 A Failure of Judgment? Why scientists argue the AI mistook "messy reality" for perfect new discoveries.⚖️ The Inventor Paradox: How AI's success creates a multi-billion dollar legal crisis for patents.This isn't just about finding new materials—it's about defining the future of AI-driven science and who gets to own it.🎧 Listen to the full episode here
