How can intelligent systems revolutionise healthcare?

Futurum

Responsible AI research and development can lead to advancements in various fields, including transportation, education and sustainability.” AI could optimise our transport systems by reducing congestion, planning out delivery routes for goods vehicles, and controlling self-driving cars. What are the next steps for this project?

Are there ‘rules’ for conveying emotion through art?

Futurum

However, the skills learnt from subjects such as mathematics and physics are everlasting and applicable to many different fields. Dirk’s top tip Take all the mathematics classes you can! My proudest career achievement has been obtaining a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship from the European Commission.

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

How do we achieve this? Fast numbers-based ways to do particular computations are often viewed as representing “ exact solutions ” to corresponding mathematical problems. But in mathematics and mathematical science it’s very common to think not about discrete integers, but about the continuum of real numbers.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

And—it should be said at the outset—we’re still only at the very beginning of nailing down those technical details and setting up the difficult mathematics and formalism they involve.) Mathematically this can be thought of as being like decomposing the ruliad structure in terms of fibrations and foliations.). The View from Mathematics.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.
