Overview

What happens when the machines stop helping scientists-and start replacing them? Automation of Knowledge explores the dawn of a new scientific era where artificial intelligence no longer just assists discovery but defines it. From AI-designed experiments and robotic labs to machine learning models that uncover truths no human can explain, William Liu reveals how automation is transforming science into something faster, cheaper, and less human. Drawing on case studies from leading research institutions, the book uncovers the trade-offs of automated discovery-efficiency at the cost of curiosity, productivity at the expense of understanding, and progress built on patterns we can't interpret. Through vivid storytelling and deep analysis, Liu examines the loss of human intuition, the collapse of reproducibility, and the rise of private AI systems controlling the very foundations of knowledge. A bold, unsettling, and necessary investigation, Automation of Knowledge asks the question no one in the lab wants to confront: what becomes of science when the scientists are gone?
