The only org dumber than the Pope.
“For better or worse, Jason Kelly says he foresees a day when the practice of science is democratized.”
The stupidest thing I have ever heard. They tried it with China flu and darn near destroyed our economy and killed people. Politics has no place in science or you get crap like climate change and trans-gender shiite.
Not much need for grad students anymore when you have AI robots to do the grunt work.
The key innovations will come when AI is doing the experiments an learning, iterating and modifying based on the results in a lab. Imagine what a mind like Gregor Mendel could have done with an AI-assisted lab.
As shown by this interesting and important video, scientists used to pipette by mouth. Now pipetting is much more automated, and safer.

But the idea that bioscience can become so automated via AI that even uneducated people can do it sounds like hooey!
If anything, bioscience has become more complex than it was in Gilbert’s and Ptashne’s day. So it requires updated training, and human—not machine—intelligence.
No—if you want to do science, you will still need to get a PhD!
