Agents for Experiments, Experiments for Agents: A Design Grammar for AI-Enabled Experimental Science
The paper discusses the role of AI systems in experimental science, emphasizing their interaction with humans and workflows. It introduces a framework called SEED, which represents experimental conditions as actor-flow graphs to improve design processes. The authors highlight the importance of governance and accountability in AI-enabled knowledge production.
- ▪AI systems are becoming active participants in organizational and knowledge work.
- ▪The SEED framework supports describing conditions, evaluating structural novelty, and generating candidate designs.
- ▪A feasibility test showed that SEED-guided designs had clearer actor-flow changes and governance checks.
