What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Proceed with caution
- Why
- The concept is vetted (peer-reviewed RSC review, 2026) and productivity gains are real (10-100x via Bayesian optimization), but software middleware, safety, and reproducibility are the binding constraints, not the vision.
- Next
- Scope a single closed-loop optimization task (Level 2-3) with human-in-the-loop exception handling and invest in middleware/standardized metadata before any multi-lab or 'autonomous' claim.
