## Summary

Andrew Curran says all three big AI labs have achieved autonomous research, with internal models now choosing their own research directions. He says the results will begin appearing this month. Pushmeet Kohli of Google DeepMind says the lab is seeing a phase transition in the pace of scientific discovery and that releases will follow in the next few weeks.
