Today, we are announcing FutureHouse, a new philanthropically-funded moonshot focused on building an AI Scientist. Our 10-year mission is to build semi-autonomous AIs for scientific research, to accelerate the pace of discovery and to provide world-wide access to cutting-edge scientific, medical, and engineering expertise. We have chosen to focus on biology because we believe biology is the science most likely to advance humanity in the coming decades, through its impact on medicine, food security, and climate. Biology research today is set to scale. New techniques allow us to test tens or hundreds of thousands of hypotheses in a single experiment. New tools allow us to design thousands of proteins computationally in parallel. However, the fundamental bottleneck in biology today is not just data or computational power, but human effort, too: no individual scientist has time to design tens of thousands of individual hypotheses, or to read the thousands of biology papers that are publish
