Artificial intelligence—the great job maker or taker?

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.

Artificial intelligence-driven autonomous laboratory for accelerating chemical discovery

Autonomous laboratories, also known as self-driving labs, have emerged as a powerful strategy to accelerate chemical discovery. By highly integrating different key parts including artificial intelligence (AI), robotic experimentation systems and automation technologies into a continuous closed-loop cycle, autonomous laboratories can efficiently conduct scientific experiments with minimal human intervention.

Stable acidic oxygen-evolving catalyst discovery through mixed accelerations

Ruthenium oxides (RuOx) are promising alternatives to iridium catalysts for the oxygen-evolution reaction in proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis but lack stability in acid. Alloying with other elements can improve stability and performance but enlarges the search space.
