The missing data for intelligent scientific instruments

Pinkard, Henry LU and Norlin, Nils LU (2025) In Nature Methods
Abstract

Most scientific instruments currently discard rich streams of commands, data and metadata from which AI systems could learn to conduct experiments with expert-level decision-making and troubleshooting skills. Recording and using this data at scale requires rethinking what data to store, incentivizing large-scale cooperation, and determining how to quantify the reliability of such autonomous systems.
