I was at a talk last week where the speaker spent a little bit of time on using machine learning on a regression matrix that is trained by the results of a simulation. The simulation and variables in the regression matrix were chosen such that the AI could recreate an approximation of a known physical law. This is fairly exciting to me because if used to recreate a lot of laws in this field, it could then be used on experimental data to untangle some of the mess and identify the relationships for us. I could see this speeding along development of science.
