Which of the following is the primary function of AILA, the AI agent introduced by IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Delhi in 2025?
Carrying out scientific experiments from start to finish, much like a human scientist
AILA (Artificially Intelligent Lab Assistant) was developed by researchers at IIT Delhi in 2025 as an autonomous AI agent that can operate real laboratory instruments such as an atomic force microscope.
It can plan an experiment, run the instrument, analyse the data and decide the next step on its own, completing an experiment from start to finish much as a human scientist would.
It is not a timetabling or maintenance tool, nor only a literature or data-collection aid, and it works with physical instruments rather than only virtual simulations.
Hence, the answer is Carrying out scientific experiments from start to finish, much like a human scientist.
