Artificial intelligence and machine learning in physics

 

 

 

AI/ML and some statements you may have heard (and what do they mean?)

  1. Fei-Fei Li on ImageNet: map out the entire world of objects (The data that transformed AI research)
  2. Russell and Norvig in their popular textbook: relevant to any intellectual task; it is truly a universal field (Artificial Intelligence, A modern approach)
  3. Woody Bledsoe puts it more bluntly: in the long run, AI is the only science (quoted in Pamilla McCorduck, Machines who think)

If you wish to have a critical read on AI/ML from a societal point of view, see Kate Crawford's recent text Atlas of AI. See also https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2023/3/24/ukraine-a-living-lab-for-ai-warfare

Here: with AI/ML we intend a collection of machine learning methods with an emphasis on statistical learning and data analysis
