In the long human effort to understand the world, the bottleneck has rarely been imagination — it has been time. Google DeepMind's Co-Scientist enters that gap, offering researchers an AI collaborator designed not to replace scientific intuition but to clear the path it must travel. Built on earlier foundations in AI-assisted research, the multi-agent system promises to compress the slow, iterative labor of experimentation into something more fluid. Whether it fulfills that promise will say much about where the boundary between human and machine contribution in science is truly drawn.
