Artificial intelligence—the great job maker or taker?

Chemical & Engineering News

Artificial intelligence is enabling chemists to rapidly identify novel compounds and substantially improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes. Developers of chemistry-related AI systems argue that their technologies will unleash a wave of new compounds that will require chemists to evaluate and test them. Their theory is that AI will augment—rather than replace—chemists. But another school of thought says that traditional chemists will become less useful, especially when AI is paired with robotics, and that most new roles will be accessible to only the AI literate. Pessimists think jobs at chemical companies, where pressure to reduce costs is highest, will be the first to go.

High-throughput RAFT Polymerization via Automated Batch, Increment, and Continuous Flow Platforms

We report an automated strategy to conduct RAFT copolymerizations using a Chemspeed robotic platform capable of executing batch, incremental, and continuous monomer addition workflows under inert conditions. Copolymerizations of oligo(ethylene glycol) acrylate with benzyl acrylate (as a control) and fluorescein o-acrylate were conducted in toluene, THF, and DMF, with reaction progress monitored via ¹H NMR spectroscopy at defined intervals.

Kinetically guided exploration of photocatalytic reactions by combining automation with in situ measurements

Photocatalysis enables valuable reactions such as synthetic transformations or energy conversion processes like water splitting. To rationally improve photocatalytic reactions, mechanistic insights are required. These can be obtained with kinetic measurements, which are, however, difficult to obtain for a large enough number of reaction conditions to provide systematic and valuable insights.
