China's New 'AutoDNA' AI Lab Needs Humans For Just Two Chores

China's New 'AutoDNA' AI Lab Needs Humans For Just Two Chores Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University have built a laboratory in which a team of AI agents designs and runs DNA experiments from a single typed prompt, with people stepping in only to restock reagents and service the hardware, according to a paper published this week in Nature. Robots run this laboratory in Japan — and are changing how scientists work | Nature The system, called AutoDNA, moves samples between instruments with robotic arms and can operate more than 20 types of equipment. A single project can in
