It’s a new paradigm—that actually seems to unlock things not only in fundamental physics, but also in the foundations of mathematics and computer science , and possibly in areas like biology and economics too. You know, I talked about building up the universe by repeatedly applying a computational rule.

However, in the last decade, the capabilities of artificial intelligence have been expanding at break-neck speed. ALGORITHM – a sequence of well-defined rules that allows computers to make calculations and solve problems. Developing machine learning algorithms involves knowledge of complex maths and computer coding.

I could write down equations and do math. But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language. It wasn’t something one could readily see with math.

It’s not obvious that it would be feasible to find the path of the steepest descent on the “weight landscape” But calculus comes to the rescue. As we mentioned above, one can always think of a neural net as computing a mathematical function—that depends on its inputs, and its weights.

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). “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. Nowadays we’d call it the trie (or prefix tree) data structure. at MITRE (the holding company for Lincoln Lab).
