Published: While art and science are often separated in academia, there is a lot to be learnt by considering them together. For the line drawings, we traced the contours with custom-made computer vision algorithms,” says Dirk. “We The computer was instructed to make its guesses based on the properties the researchers had measured.

This is the first of a series of pieces I’m planning in connection with the upcoming 20th anniversary of the publication of A New Kind of Science. “There’s a Whole New Field to Build…” For me the story began nearly 50 years ago —with what I saw as a great and fundamental mystery of science. Computation theory.

While my academic background is in the social sciences and more specifically educational studies, I believe that regardless of your discipline, social sciences or natural sciences, the research process, structurally speaking, is more or less the same.

Scientific simulations — an advanced type of computational model that not only represents a real-world phenomenon, but aims to predict how the phenomenon might change under different conditions or parameters. Software — a set of instructions, scripts or programmes that are used to operate computers and perform specific tasks.

So now it’s natural to wonder: How far will this go? My goal here is to explore some of the science, technology—and philosophy—of what we can expect from AIs. But it ultimately takes something beyond the raw computational system of the AI to define what us humans would consider a meaningful goal. What will AIs be able to do?

How to engineer a microbe Synthetic biology makes use of the rapidly progressing science of genetic engineering, which involves changing an organism’s genes so that it will express different proteins. Our team includes social science and humanities researchers who look at the policies and implications of synthetic biology,” says Ian.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1. How Did We Get Here?
