AI may raise the bar and thin the pipeline

The article from Science magazine, June 2026, addresses the impact of artificial intelligence on scientific research and career prospects. It shows that the introduction of AI technologies in science may raise qualification requirements for research workers. At the same time, the pipeline may narrow, meaning fewer people will be able to successfully work in this environment. Changes caused by AI may have a significant impact on the future of the scientific community and educational programs. The article highlights the need to adapt to these new requirements in research and development.
