AI could be science’s strongest ally

In a world of shrinking budgets, researchers need to do more with less; agentic AI can help.

Across the U.S. and parts of Europe, science funding is in crisis. In the U.S., a planned $18 billion worth of cuts to federal research have already halted trials, triggered mass layoffs, and shut down entire programs. Europe isn’t immune either, with Horizon, Europe’s flagship funding program for research and innovation, also facing rollbacks. These cuts are stretching researchers thin and slowing down innovation when we need it most.
