Advice for Young People: Get Interested in the Big Questions
The advice for young people today is to get interested in the big questions such as intelligence, the universe, life, and time. It is recommended to learn basic methods from math, physics, and engineering, as they have a long shelf life and can be used indirectly in various fields. Courses like quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and statistical physics are highly useful and have practical applications in machine learning, deep learning, and AI. Applying AI and machine learning to solve big problems in the world, such as using deep learning to design new chemical compounds for efficient energy storage or finding controllers to stabilize plasma for practical fusion reactors, can have a significant impact on solving climate change.
