How AI chatbots’ ‘biggest problem’ is helping scientists in healthcare

AI hallucinations, or the generation of plausible but false information, are being seen as innovative tools in science. These unexpected outputs from AI models are driving new ideas, especially in early-stage discovery. Notably, Nobel Prize winner David Baker credited AI hallucinations for aiding the design of new proteins, leading to numerous patents and biotech companies.
