Elon Musk predicts AI will master all scientific fields by 2028 at the latest, accelerating beyond earlier timelines suggested by AI researcher Francois Chollet. 

Chollet argued that many sciences will merge with computer science within 10-20 years, a view now gaining acceptance as AI aids breakthroughs in protein folding, materials science, and climate modelling. 

Musk's evolving forecasts have moved from 2030-2040 down to as soon as 2025 for AI surpassing humans, emphasizing rapid AI progress and its profound impact on science and society.
