Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

A key idea—ultimately supported at a foundational level by our Physics Project —is that we can think of everything that happens as a computational process. In 2019 I was doing another systematic enumeration, now of possible hypergraph rewriting rules that might correspond to the lowest-level structure of our physical universe.

How can we unravel the complex history of networks?

Futurum

Dr Min Xu, a statistician specialising in network analysis at Rutgers University, has developed a probabilistic model that can determine how a network has grown, which not only has applications in epidemiology, but is also useful in social science, genetics and counter-terrorism efforts. What is a network? “A

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

Stephen Wolfram

Indeed, so confident was he of his programming prowess that he became convinced that he should in effect be able to write a program for the universe—and make all of physics into a programming problem. It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus).

The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

I started studying architecture, but after two weeks, I realised I didn’t want to study buildings. I wanted to study something living, so I switched to an animal science program. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences.

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

Stephen Wolfram

The results (which ultimately rely on all sorts of specific engineering) are remarkably “human like”. 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.
