The Shanghai Academy of AI for Science (SAIS) and Fudan University have launched an intelligent agent called "Dasheng" [1]. This AI partner can autonomously break down complex scientific research tasks [1]. It uses natural language instructions to handle projects across fields like life sciences and humanities [1][2]. Dasheng represents a shift toward autonomous research workflows [1]. By processing natural language, it assists scientists in managing data-heavy projects without manual intervention [2]. This tool aims to bridge the gap between AI technology and practical scientific application [1].
