You're assuming a world where humans are still needed to read the papers. I'm more worried about a future world where AIs do all of the work of progressing science and humans just become bystanders.

Why are you worried about that world? Is it because you expect science to progress too fast, or too slow?
Too fast. It's already coding too fast for us to follow, and from what I hear, it's doing incredible work in drug discovery. I don't see any barrier to it getting faster and faster, and with proper testing and tooling, getting more and more reliable, until the role that humans play in scientific advancement becomes at best akin to that of managers of sports teams.
