Researchers from the FLARE Wildfire Research Group at The University of Melbourne in Australia are developing models that can help predict where wildfires are most likely to occur and how fires behave under different weather conditions. Long-lasting economic impacts can put huge pressure on local communities.

And so it was that in 1985 I began to promote the idea of a new field of “complex systems research”, or, for short “complexity”—fueled by the discoveries I’d made about things like cellular automata. And while they used computers as practical tools, they never made the jump to seeing computation as a core paradigm for thinking about science.

But when it comes to mathematical research, and the frontiers of mathematics, one doesn’t immediately expect any such constraint. Unless we can connect what’s in the formulas with things we know about (whether in number theory or economics) it’ll usually be difficult to conclude much from them. So might AI change that?
