Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

Futurum

Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. Once this is done, the CTC video footage will be accessible to artificial intelligence image analysis techniques. Scientific imaging in in cell biology.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

Could it really be that this was the secret that nature had been using all along to make complexity?

But at least it would have a home.

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

Stephen Wolfram

But it also highlights how significant our specifics—our particular history, biology, etc.—are. Some of it seems intrinsic to our biological nature. For now, there’s a certain element of what we want to do that’s “anchored” by our biological nature. And in biology it shows up as some structure (ribosome, cell, wing, etc.)

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

But while this might be a convenient setup for biology, it’s not at all clear that it’s even close to the best way to achieve the functionality we need. Of course, that’s not much different from how we might describe our brains as having been produced through the process of biological evolution.)
