How AI is Changing the Way Scientists Work

OpenAI has launched a new tool called Prism. It is designed to assist scientists in their work. This tool is built on top of Crixet, a cloud-based platform for LaTeX, which OpenAI has recently acquired. LaTeX is a system used for formatting scientific documents. It is widely used in the scientific community. However, it can be time-consuming for tasks like drawing diagrams. Prism offers more than just LaTeX editing. It includes an AI assistant powered by GPT-5. 2. This assistant can help with various tasks. For example, it can find and incorporate relevant scientific literature into a paper. It can also automate the process of writing the bibliography. This can speed up the research process. However, scientists still need to verify the accuracy of the references.During a demo, an OpenAI employee used Prism to create a lesson plan for a graduate course on general relativity. They also generated a set of problems for students to solve. These features can help scientists and professors save time on tedious tasks. Prism is available to anyone with a personal ChatGPT account. It supports unlimited projects and collaborators. OpenAI plans to make it available to organizations on various ChatGPT plans soon. Crixet will not be offered separately.
