Can generative AI be trusted to draw chemical structures? Not yet, according to two chemists who want to see the community take a tough stance against its use.

The chemistry community should ban drawing chemical structures with generative AI, chemists warn

AIs like Microsoft's Copilot, Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT still make serious errors rendering structural formulae

Very proud of our institute @fraunhoferisc.bsky.social! We participated in the @fraunhofer.bsky.social deep tech incubator #AHEAD and not 1, not 2, but 3 of our teams moved to phase 1! All three teams received funding to develop their ideas further, which is truly great!

The combination of art and science acts as a catalyst for the social mission of both fields—and offers scope for valuable synergies.

A grand conference with mind-blowing talks here in Hefei just started.

While Im very inspired, it also shows how far behind we are in the #Ozchem community. Robotics, ML/AI in chemistry isn't just an idea of the future. It is the present and we need to make sure to stay up to date.

Last July we swapped lab coats for life vests and put our “canoe stability constants” to the test on the Main River near Volkach. A full day of applied equilibrium studies wrapped up with drinks at a beer garden. Already excited for the next round of science in motion + #TeamSpirit! #LifeInScience
