The pace of scientific discovery is about to be completely redefined. With AI now capable of performing in 2 days what would take 12 years of dedicated PhD research, we’re standing at the edge of a technological revolution—one that may accelerate humanity toward Star Trek-level science far sooner than expected.
AI automated science will soon progress at least 1000s of times faster than today. 'Soon' could begin as early as 2026–2027. That's why we might reach Star Trek–level technology and scientific understanding not in the 2200s, but by the next decade. The 2030s will be an utterly… pic.twitter.com/GtGOgILqR8

Most importantly, this rapid acceleration applies to biotech and AI driven anti aging research

Today’s example may be early-stage, but it’s a powerful signal of what’s coming. In systematic scientific reviews—an essential yet time-consuming aspect of research—AI has shown superhuman performance. It achieved 96.7% sensitivity in screening compared to humans at 81.7%, and 93.1% accuracy in data extraction versus human performance of 79.7%. These are not just marginal gains; they represent a leap in efficiency and precision.
This AI completed its review task roughly 1,500 times faster than a team of human experts. And that’s not the peak—this is today’s tech, still primitive compared to what may arrive by 2026–2027. Soon, we could see fully automated AI scientists, able to conduct experiments, analyze results, and generate hypotheses at speeds and scales impossible for any human team.
The implications are staggering. From drug discovery to materials science, climate modeling to quantum physics, the 2030s may be the most transformative decade in human history. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the logical conclusion of exponential progress in AI.
If this trajectory holds, we may unlock scientific understanding in the next 10 years that we once thought would take centuries. The future isn’t just near—it’s accelerating toward us.
