<p>This essay argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing scientific research, creating a "new golden age of discovery." The authors identify five key areas where AI can significantly accelerate scientific progress: knowledge synthesis, data generation and annotation, experimental simulation, complex systems modeling, and solution identification.</p>
<p>They discuss essential ingredients for successful AI-driven science, including problem selection, evaluation methods, computational resources, data management, organizational design, interdisciplinary collaboration, and adoption strategies.</p>
<p>Potential risks, such as impacts on scientific creativity and reliability, are also addressed, alongside proposed policy recommendations to harness AI's potential while mitigating its risks.</p>
<p>The authors advocate for strategic investments in AI infrastructure, education, and collaborative initiatives to foster a more equitable and sustainable future of AI-enabled science.</p>
