Discover how AI is transforming scientific research, from improving weather forecasting to accelerating drug discovery. Learn from an AI expert about leveraging AI to gain insights into physical phenomena and its crucial role in addressing climate change.
“While language models may help generate new ideas, they cannot attack the hard part of science, which is simulating the necessary physics,” says AI professor Anima Anandkumar. She explains how her team developed neural operators — AI trained on the finest details of the real world — to bridge this gap, sharing recent projects ranging from improved weather forecasting to cutting-edge medical device design that demonstrate the power of AI with universal physical understanding.
