Most people think of AI as a productivity tool.
Kevin Wheal thinks the biggest impact may be somewhere else entirely.
Formerly CPO and Vice President of Science at OpenAI, Wheal is focused on a future where AI doesn't just help people write documents or generate code, but contributes directly to scientific discovery itself.
The idea is ambitious.
Use AI to accelerate breakthroughs in mathematics, medicine, materials science, and other fields that shape the future of human progress.
In this conversation, Kevin discusses frontier science, robotic labs, AI reasoning, startup opportunities and why he believes some of the most important consequences of AI may come from expanding humanity's ability to discover new knowledge.

Yeah, that's a tough one because AI is making it easier than ever to create software.
But what happens to design when anyone can generate an interface, a website, or an application with a prompt?
Some argue that AI will commoditize design.
Others believe it will make great design even more valuable by automating routine work and freeing people to focus on higher-order creative decisions.
