When can we say AI made a scientific discovery?

Summary
Anthropic announced that its molecular biology lab, where Claude agents read and conjecture about biology problems and human scientists run experiments, had made its first discovery. Its system of 950 agents flagged a repeating pattern around a known enzyme after 21 hours, which Anthropic said had not been catalogued before. Biologists disputed that this counted as a discovery, and Mario Rodríguez Mestre said his team had already found the pattern.
