Licong Xu, Thomas Borrett/Beyond AI as Assistants: Toward Autonomous Discovery in CosmologyUnknown

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) agents are pushing AI beyond tools toward autonomous scientific discovery. We discuss two complementary agentic systems for cosmology: \texttt{CMBEvolve}, which targets tasks with explicit quantitative objectives through LLM-guided code evolution and tree search, and \texttt{CosmoEvolve}, which targets open-ended scientific workflows through a virtual multi-agent research laboratory. As preliminary demonstrations, we apply \texttt{CMBEvolve} to out-of-distribution detection in weak-lensing maps, where it iteratively improves the benchmark score through code evolution, and \texttt{CosmoEvolve} to autonomous ACT DR6 data analysis, where it identifies non-trivial pair- and scale-dependent behaviour and produces analysis-grade diagnostics. These examples show how cosmology can provide both controlled benchmark tasks and realistic open-ended research problems for the development of AI scientist systems.
