Most likely, an unifying framework of nature would come from cross-disciplinary work. That's almost a tautology. Unfortunately we're stuck in a world where isolated people playing with narrow albeit very detailed views of nature, try to capture the big picture all on their own. I'm glad physicists can try their luck at AI. I'd be glad other disciplines, even remote, do too. Foreign concepts often bring with them new outlooks on problems that are very fertile and rejuvenating. A little bit more humility wouldn't hurt though.
