Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

But what I want to do here is to discuss what amount to deeper questions about AI in science. Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. A lot of science—and technology—has been constructed specifically around computationally reducible phenomena.

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 www.learnpython.org ).

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

Stephen Wolfram

For about three centuries it seemed as if mathematical equations were the ultimate way to describe the natural world—but in the past few decades , and particularly poignantly with our recent Physics Project , it’s become clear that simple programs are in general a more powerful approach.)

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

Stephen Wolfram

It explains that III has four divisions: Mathematical and Programming Services, Behavioral Science, Operations, and “New York”. So what happened is Marvin [Minsky] and I basically fleshed out the idea of a mathematical thing. It says that “From a one-man operation [in 1962], I.I.I. And it was agreed that we would do it.
