Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. But the computer let me discover just by systematic enumeration the 2-state, 3-color machine that in 2007 was proved universal (and, yes, it’s the simplest possible universal Turing machine).

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

In 1956 McCarthy had been one of the organizers of the conference that coined the term “artificial intelligence”, and in 1958 McCarthy began the development of LISP (which was based on linked lists ). Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. And he says “There’s a problem.
