Training Sand to Think: AI and the Future of Science
Training Sand to Think: AI and the Future of Science
Over the last half decade, the capabilities of large language models (like ChatGPT and Gemini) have leapt from babbling preschoolers to International Math Olympiad gold medallists, and now beyond. This talk reviews recent progress in training Artificial Intelligences to do science and reasoning, and speculates as to what it will mean for the future of science if these trends continue.
The lecture will be followed by a discussion panel featuring leading artificial intelligence experts, offering multiple perspectives on the opportunities and challenges shaping AI today.
