Title: Towards Strong AI: Transformational Beliefs and Scientific Creativity
Authors: Samuel J. Eschker, Chuanhai Liu,
Abstract summary: Strong artificial intelligence (AI) is envisioned to possess general cognitive abilities and scientific creativity comparable to human intelligence. We introduce a simple theoretical and statistical framework of weak beliefs, termed the Transformational Belief (TB) framework. We demonstrate the TB framework's potential as a promising foundation for understanding, analyzing, and even fostering creativity.

Abstract: Strong artificial intelligence (AI) is envisioned to possess general cognitive abilities and scientific creativity comparable to human intelligence, encompassing both knowledge acquisition and problem-solving. While remarkable progress has been made in weak AI, the realization of strong AI remains a topic of intense debate and critical examination. In this paper, we explore pivotal innovations in the history of astronomy and physics, focusing on the discovery of Neptune and the concept of scientific revolutions as perceived by philosophers of science. Building on these insights, we introduce a simple theoretical and statistical framework of weak beliefs, termed the Transformational Belief (TB) framework, designed as a foundation for modeling scientific creativity. Through selected illustrative examples in statistical science, we demonstrate the TB framework's potential as a promising foundation for understanding, analyzing, and even fostering creativity -- paving the way toward the development of strong AI. We conclude with reflections on future research directions and potential advancements.

Artificial Intelligence for Science in Quantum, Atomistic, and Continuum Systems [268.585904751315]
New area of research known as AI for science (AI4Science) Areas aim at understanding the physical world from subatomic (wavefunctions and electron density), atomic (molecules, proteins, materials, and interactions), to macro (fluids, climate, and subsurface) scales. Key common challenge is how to capture physics first principles, especially symmetries, in natural systems by deep learning methods.

The Future of Fundamental Science Led by Generative Closed-Loop Artificial Intelligence [67.70415658080121]
Recent advances in machine learning and AI are disrupting technological innovation, product development, and society as a whole. AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access. Here we explore and investigate aspects of an AI-driven, automated, closed-loop approach to scientific discovery.

Deep Learning Opacity in Scientific Discovery [0.15229257192293197]
I argue that the disconnect between philosophical pessimism and scientific optimism is driven by a failure to examine how AI is actually used in science. I show that, in order to understand the justification for AI-powered breakthroughs, philosophers must examine the role played by deep learning as part of a wider process of discovery.
