Robot scientists can think for themselves
This is a Reuters report about efforts to teach robots how to apply the scientific method - conduct experiments, analyze data and draw conclusions - using artificial intelligence programming. The article seems a bit sensational to me, it strongly implies that the robot was able to reason, and I suspect it only appeared to reason after taking the necessary steps in the experimental process. Still, it's an interesting bit of tech news.
