This paper argues that Artificial Intelligence for Science (AI4S) functions as an analytical tool in the current research paradigm but fails to address core inefficiencies, and proposes “Agent for Science (Agent4S)” as a true fifth scientific paradigm that automates the entire research workflow by leveraging Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents. We introduce a five-stage taxonomy of Agent4S, providing a clear roadmap from simple task automation to fully autonomous and collaborative “AI Scientist”, defining the next revolutionary step in scientific discovery.
Takeaways, Limitations
•
Takeaways: Presenting a new paradigm that can dramatically increase the efficiency of scientific research, presenting a step-by-step approach and development direction through the five-step classification system of Agent4S, and presenting new possibilities for scientific discovery using AI.
•
Limitations: Lack of specific technical description of the feasibility and implementation of Agent4S, absence of discussion of ethical and social implications, and lack of verification of the practical applicability and validity of the five-level classification system.
