Curious Saturday: AI Is finally reading what humans could not
What if some of our biggest scientific breakthroughs are already written down somewhere — just buried in notebooks, maps, and records too vast for humans to process?
In her fascinating TED Talk, Sara Beery reveals how AI is uncovering scientific knowledge that’s been hidden for centuries. By digitizing and analyzing old field notes, museum records, and ecological observations, AI can spot patterns that were impossible to see before — from biodiversity collapse to long-term climate impacts.
The takeaway: AI is not replacing scientists — it’s giving them superpowers. It helps us connect dots across time, scale insights globally, and surface knowledge we did not even know we had.
