Generative AI does more than cut costs. It pulls products toward a shared template, making offerings look and feel more alike while making true originality disproportionately expensive. We capture this centripetal force in a standard…

Accelerated material discovery increasingly relies on artificial intelligence and machine learning, collectively termed "AI/ML". A key challenge in using AI is ensuring that human scientists trust the models are valid and reliable.…
