Wet lab experiments are slow and expensive, forcing scientists to pursue safer, incremental hypotheses. AI models can computationally test riskier, 'home run' ideas before committing lab resources. This de-risking makes scientists less hesitant to explore breakthrough concepts that could accelerate the field.

Users who treat AI as a collaborator—debating with it, challenging its outputs, and engaging in back-and-forth dialogue—see superior outcomes. This mindset shift produces not just efficiency gains, but also higher quality, more innovative results compared to simply delegating discrete tasks to the AI.

The next leap in biotech moves beyond applying AI to existing data. CZI pioneers a model where 'frontier biology' and 'frontier AI' are developed in tandem. Experiments are now designed specifically to generate novel data that will ground and improve future AI models, creating a virtuous feedback loop.

Instead of a linear handoff, Google fosters a continuous loop where real-world problems inspire research, which is then applied to products. This application, in turn, generates the next set of research questions, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that accelerates breakthroughs.

Treat advanced AI systems not as software with binary outcomes, but as a new employee with a unique persona. They can offer diverse, non-obvious insights and a different "chain of thought," sometimes finding issues even human experts miss and providing complementary perspectives.

The Google search era conditioned users to be self-sufficient problem solvers. To truly leverage AI, one must adopt a new mindset of delegation, treating tools like ChatGPT as thought partners rather than just information retrieval systems. This is a significant behavioral shift from self-reliance to collaboration.

Unlike chatbots that rely solely on their training data, Google's AI acts as a live researcher. For a single user query, the model executes a 'query fanout'—running multiple, targeted background searches to gather, synthesize, and cite fresh information from across the web in real-time.

Beyond automating data collection, investment firms can use AI to generate novel analytical frameworks. By asking AI to find new ways to plot and interpret data inputs, the team moves from rote data entry to higher-level analysis, using the technology as a creative and strategic partner.

Current LLMs fail at science because they lack the ability to iterate. True scientific inquiry is a loop: form a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, analyze the result (even if incorrect), and refine. AI needs this same iterative capability with the real world to make genuine discoveries.
