Epilogue

This concluding chapter frames the future of science as a collaboration with intelligent machines, guided by the ideal of Francis Bacon’s “House of Solomon.” It synthesizes the book’s arguments, advocating for a sustainable and scalable scientific enterprise. Key proposals include replacing the static scientific article with dynamic, computable knowledge structures and reforming funding to foster breakthroughs. The epilogue finishes with a direct call to action for governments, society, and scientists to collectively build a new research ecosystem, ensuring that machine-assisted discovery remains transparent, ethically grounded, and firmly connected to human values and societal needs.
