The state of AI agents for biology: what 147 NeurIPS papers reveal
Sunday, 1 November, 2026

A snapshot of AI agents for biology at the end of 2026, drawn from a critical review of all 147 papers accepted to the NeurIPS 2026 workshop on Agentic AI for Biological Discovery. Five lessons: right answers for the wrong reasons, success measured at the wrong boundary, fragile AI judges, how rarely agents are compared with simpler methods, and a closed loop that is still mostly closed in silico. Plus a tour of what is being built in genomics, molecular design, the clinic and the literature, the eight oral papers, and what it all means for agents in science beyond biology. The review behind the episode was prepared with AI agents and checked by script; 28 papers were read in full and 119 from their abstracts. Narrated with a synthetic voice.
