Generative Metascience: A Review of AI as the Next Scientific Instrument and the Emerging Paradigm of Algorithmic Discovery

2025-07-14

Abstract excerpt

This review introduces Generative Metascience, a comprehensive framework for understanding how artificial intelligence (AI) transforms scientific discovery. We synthesize historical milestones and case studies across genomics, astronomy, materials science, and social sciences to illustrate AI's evolution from a research instrument into an autonomous co-investigator. Our analysis is structured around two core theme...
