The students' job was to doubt the discovery.

In a University of Washington materials course, students examined patterns surfaced by Ai2 AutoDiscovery, checked literature, and decided whether each result was a useful question, coincidence, or data flaw.

AI’s role
The agent searched materials data and surfaced possible relationships for students to interrogate.
Documented result
Ai2 reports a spring-course challenge in which students checked candidate patterns against literature and data. It reports neither a validated discovery nor measured learning improvement.
Important limitation
This is one reported classroom challenge.
