Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

But when it comes to mathematical research, and the frontiers of mathematics, one doesn’t immediately expect any such constraint. And when it comes to mathematics and proving theorems, cases that we use for exercises or competitions we similarly want to be hard, but not too hard. But what happens with other paths?
