Iris is an AI to help science R&D | TechCrunch

"Most startups have a pitch; the team behind Iris AI has two. They’ve created an AI-powered science assistant that functions like a search tool, helping researchers track down relevant journal papers without having to know the right keywords for their search. But in future its big vision is that an artificially intelligent baby grows up to become a scientist capable of forming and even testing hypotheses, based on everything it’s going to learn in its science research assistant ‘first job’ role."
