“I strongly feel that the time of scientists is coming to an end. Who needs them, after all? There is strong evidence that their domain is inevitably languishing. Machines, once an irrelevant piece in the jigsaw as mere contributors in complex experiments –whether verifying parameters, measuring reagents and drawing proportions–, are presently interpreting results, inferring patterns and thereby guaranteeing success in future research. They have become a new paradigm of trial and no-error. Within microseconds, robots acquire knowledge worth several years’ research, if it were to be undertaken by the most talented group of humans on earth.”
