Tsinghua AI4S Forum: Li Luming, Yaghi and others discuss how to use AI for scientific research

The Tsinghua University Student AI4S Association held a forum on October 9. President Li Luming said bluntly that "a lot of research work is already meaningless," while Nobel laureate Omar Yaghi proposed "choosing science" and described an autonomous running laboratory in which AI proposes materials solutions and robotic systems synthesize and characterize them. Several professors stressed the building of foundational databases: Gao Xiangyu of Peking University Cancer Hospital advocated "one person, one file" with multi-point sampling throughout, Tsinghua's Xu Zhiping used physical transmission to connect simple and complex systems, and Sinopec's Sun Lili warned that data errors amplify step by step along the chain.
