AI co-scientist hypotheses on antimicrobial resistance and liver fibrosis
AI co-scientist hypotheses on antimicrobial resistance and liver fibrosis is graded author verified on whataifound.org, with the AI's role graded ai-assisted.
A multi-agent system generated hypotheses that were subsequently validated experimentally in the lab.

What was found
The system proposed mechanisms in antimicrobial resistance and liver fibrosis that wet-lab work then supported. Notable as one of the earliest cases of an AI-generated hypothesis surviving experimental test rather than just sounding plausible.
Novelty check
The AMR mechanism proposed had reportedly been independently arrived at by a human group whose work was unpublished at the time, which complicates the novelty claim.
Caveats
Hypothesis generation with human-run validation, not autonomous discovery. Independent replication outside the collaborating labs is limited. Graded conservatively.

How this is graded
whataifound.org grades every entry on two axes: verification (how solid the result is, from a machine-checked proof down to refuted) and autonomy (how much the AI did versus its human collaborators). This finding is author verified and ai-assisted. Full definitions are in the methodology.
