The White House has expressed a desire to redirect billions of dollars in research funding away from traditional peer review processes and toward individual scientists and artificial intelligence.
The proposal calls for moving money from what the White House describes as 'slow consensus peer review' into direct support for researchers and AI-driven work.
Officials stated that AI should be at the forefront of scientific research under the new approach.
The announcement reflects an intent to accelerate scientific progress by prioritizing faster, technology-enabled methods over established consensus-based systems.
