For instance, in the social sciences, women hold an impressive 64% share of the workforce. There is still room for improvement in computer and engineering occupations, but the overall trend is upward toward equality. Children possess a natural curiosity and will learn math and science with ease through free play.

This is why Professor Oscar Odena, an interdisciplinary researcher at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, decided to create a global network of people studying social music projects from Colombia in South America to the DRC in Africa. By 2019, Oscar had already spent a lot of time researching social music projects.

And so it was that in 1985 I began to promote the idea of a new field of “complex systems research”, or, for short “complexity”—fueled by the discoveries I’d made about things like cellular automata. And while they used computers as practical tools, they never made the jump to seeing computation as a core paradigm for thinking about science.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.

And in our times we’re in the middle of a major transformation to a fundamentally computational representation of the world (and, yes, that’s what our Wolfram Language computational language is all about). My goal here is to explore and assess what AI can and can’t be expected to do in science. So how does AI stack up?

candidates at MIT’s Lifelong Kindergarten research group, say it all started with a single piece of feedback: “Just make learning fun.” Not an ideal conversation right after sessions on mindfulness, but the husband-and-wife researcher duo did take away two key lessons from the students’ candor.

. “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. It didn’t really come to light until he was at BBN, but while at Lincoln Lab Ed had made what would eventually become his first lasting contribution to computer science. Nowadays we’d call it the trie (or prefix tree) data structure.
