This chapter explores the limitations of language models in replicating physical phenomena and emphasizes the importance of AI with a deep understanding of the physical world for accurate simulations in science and engineering.
“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.
