The AI-powered Era of Scientific Discovery Is Here - Ep. 25 with Dr. Bradley Love

Dr. Bradley Love is building a tool that can predict the future.

Dr. Bradley Love is transforming neuroscience research with AI.

He's the creator of BrainGPT, a large language model that can predict the results of neuroscience studies—before they’re conducted. And it performs better than human experts.

We spent 90 minutes exploring how AI is reshaping scientific research and our understanding of the brain.

Bradley argues that as scientific knowledge grows exponentially, we need new tools to make sense of it all. BrainGPT isn't just summarizing existing research—it's predicting future discoveries.

We get into: • How BrainGPT outperforms neuroscience professors • Why clean scientific explanations may be a thing of the past • The challenges of interpreting complex biological systems • How AI could change the way we approach scientific research • The limitations of our intuitive understanding of the brain

This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of science, AI, and how we understand the human mind.
