Over the past century, the focus of scientific practices has shifted from purely intellectual exploration to problem-solving, leading to uneven development in scientific knowledge. Our analysis of 41 million research articles over the past six decades reveals this trend of uneven development, with atypical papers representing complementary innovation becoming the majority and displacement papers representing substitutive innovation decreasing to the minority. While AI can enhance human memory capacity, it may not necessarily accelerate progress in canonical concepts without changing the agenda of science and its organization.

翻译：在过去的一个世纪里，科学实践的重心已从纯粹的智力探索转向问题解决，这导致了科学知识发展的不均衡。我们对过去六十年间四千一百万篇研究论文的分析揭示了这一不均衡发展的趋势：代表互补性创新的非典型论文已成为主流，而代表替代性创新的替代性论文则减少为少数。尽管人工智能可以增强人类的记忆能力，但若不改变科学议程及其组织方式，它未必能加速规范概念的进步。
