One of the things I'm/we're thinking through is how to do this in a way that’s participatory rather than extractive. It's not necessary that what scientists would choose to automate with agents is the same as what a company trying to automate scientists would choose.

If we can help people automate drudgery while giving them a real say in what gets built and control over how their work is used, I think there’s a possibility of a much better outcome than the current trajectory. I’m not sure we’re in that world, but I think we should try.
