Japanese scientist Hiroaki Kitano launches "Nobel Turing Challenge" to have AI conduct Nobel-worthy research by 2050.

In 2021, Japanese scientist Hiroaki Kitano initiated the "Nobel Turing Challenge," aiming for AI to autonomously conduct Nobel-worthy research by 2050. Currently, around 100 "robot scientists," like "Adam," are operational, some achieving independent discoveries. While AI, exemplified by Google DeepMind's AlphaFold, has contributed significantly to science, experts believe it lacks the necessary intelligence and contextual understanding to earn a Nobel Prize. Progress is anticipated within the next decade.
