Shirley Ho

Kyunghyun Cho, a computer science professor and executive director at Genentech, discusses the future of AI in research and the importance of understanding causation over mere correlations. Shirley Ho, a group leader at the Flatiron Institute, shares insights on polymathic models that integrate physics and data science, enhancing simulations in fields like fluid dynamics. Together, they explore the rethinking of research funding, future scientist education, and how AI may transform narrow specialists into interdisciplinary collaborators.
