Confidence in scientific findings is boosted when independent researchers reach the same result by different routes. But the use of artificial intelligence might create a common source of error, with Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett warning that AI could produce scientific monocultures in which methods and questions converge (L. Messeri and M. J. Crockett Nature 653, 675–676; 2026).
