# Accelerated Science **Entity class:** Scientific trajectory **Domain:** Artificial intelligence / science / political economy **Maturity:** Developed ## Definition **Accelerated Science** is research whose hypothesis generation, literature analysis, simulation, experimental planning, and verification are compressed by machine intelligence and automation. ## Mechanism and Consequence When discovery cycles shrink from years to months, scientific institutions must rethink prizes, authorship, replication, laboratory throughput, and the meaning of an exceptional contribution. ## Relationships - [[wiki/Scientific Literacy|Scientific Literacy]] - [[wiki/AI-Driven Biology|AI-Driven Biology]] - [[wiki/Biological Moonshots|Biological Moonshots]] - [[wiki/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] ## Source Dossiers - [[research/AI Is Now So Good They Will Pay You to Quit|AI Is Now So Good They Will Pay You to Quit]] - [[research/Super Intelligence Week Index of Statements from the White House Luncheon|Super Intelligence Week Index of Statements from the White House Luncheon]] - [[research/Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live|Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live]] ## Simple Reminders, Quotations, and Thoughts > "We should expect Nobel Prize–worthy work [from AI-driven science]. The natural question becomes: what is Nobel Prize–worthy in an era when a thousand Nobel Prizes can be produced in a year? If a century of human progress arrives within a few months, Nobel Prizes may have to recognize larger bodies of work." > **— Alexander Wissner-Gross**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/Scientific Literacy/A Century of Science in Months Will Make Nobel Prizes Obsolete by Alexander Wissner-Gross|A Century of Science in Months Will Make Nobel Prizes Obsolete by Alexander Wissner-Gross]] > The Millennium Problems for Biology apply the method: pick your targets, build your harnesses, establish your benchmarks, and go. The targets include the origin of life, cryopreservation, and regrowing limbs. The proposed problems should be hard to solve but easy to verify in a standard wet lab within a couple of days. > **— Adapted from Peter Diamandis**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/Biotechnology/Biology Needs Hard Problems That Are Easy to Verify by Peter Diamandis|Biology Needs Hard Problems That Are Easy to Verify by Peter Diamandis]]
