New study on AI use in 41.3M scientific studies: Scientists using AI publish 3x more papers, get 4.8x more citations, become team leaders 1.4 years earlier. But the breadth of subjects studied shrank 5%. Collaboration dropped 22%.
Everyone is sprinting toward the same finish line.

Now your innovation team has the same problem.

UC San Diego researchers studied 112 experienced developers (3-25 years) using AI coding agents in real work. The headline contradicts the hype: Pros don’t delegate. They direct.
