<p>Keeping files on your own computer also does not mean that everything stays there. Claude Science says that datasets and calculations can remain on the researcher’s computer, while the instructions sent to the AI and its replies are processed by Anthropic. Researchers should therefore check what information leaves their computer, how long it is kept and whether it can be used to train models. </p>

<p>The ART findings raise interesting biological questions, but further experiments are needed to establish what the Claude system does. The debate also highlights a broader issue: how we recognise scientific contributions when AI is involved. </p>
<p>In this instance, credit should acknowledge the researchers who produced the original data, identified the enzymes and uncovered connections between them. Announcements about AI discoveries should explain those human contributions as clearly as they describe what the AI achieved.<!-- Below is The Conversation's page counter tag.
