Would this be possible without it being able to run novel real-world physics experiments autonomously?
(Note: I am not suggesting we let it do this. Please don't, in fact)
- petilon 29d agoAI could discover candidate novel physics without autonomously operating new physical experiments, and humans or instruments can later independently validate the result. This is analogous to how Einstein developed theories whose predictions were confirmed by experiments and observations only years or decades later.
- auntienomen 29d agoDo we have any examples of an current day AI system introducing a novel concept or perspective. We've got plenty of counterexamples discovered and some theorems proven, but afaik nothing analogous to a new definition.

- guelo 29d agoIt could be a good theoretical physicist. Actually it could be a good experimental physicist as well since senior experimental physicists use grad students for the manual labor.
