How to make artificial intelligence faster and smarter – with the help of a few physics

What is exactly the world of artificial intelligence – just a kind of nerve network?

It is not a single nerve network, but rather a group of computer programs that can help scientists discover new discoveries. My group has already developed algorithms that can help in individual tasks, such as weather forecasting, determining global temperature high temperature drivers, or trying to discover causal relationships such as the effects of vaccination policies on the transmission of the disease.

We are now building a broader “foundation” model enough to deal with multiple tasks. Scientists collect data from all types of tools, and we want our model to include a variety of data types – bad guys, texts, photos and videos. We have an early preliminary model, but we want to make our model more intelligent, smarter and better training before launching it. This can happen within two years.

What do you imagine can do?

Artificial intelligence can help in each step a step of scientific discovery. When I say “AII”, I really mean an Amnesty International Scientific Assistant. The stage of literature in experimenting, for example, requires a huge effort to collect data and organizational effort. But now, the large language model can read and summarize thousands of books during a single lunch break. What Amnesty International is not good in judging the scientific authority. In this case, she cannot compete with experienced researchers. While artificial intelligence can help generate hypotheses, design experiences and data analysis, it is still not possible to perform advanced experiments.

To what extent do you want to see the concept go?

While filming, the artificial intelligence world can reduce researchers in some toilets while allowing people to deal with the creative aspects of science. This is especially good. Be reassuring, that the goal is not to replace human scientists. I do not imagine – I do not want to see it – a machine to replace human creativity or interfering in creativity.
