Indeed Artificial Intelligence (AI), including machine learning, autonomy, and related advances, ($655.23 million) investments will bring together numerous fields of scientific inquiry—including computer and information science; cognitive science and psychology; economics and game theory; education research; engineering and control theory; ethics; linguistics; mathematics; and philosophy—to advance the frontiers of trustworthy AI, including advancing perception, learning, reasoning, recommendation, and action in the context of specific fields and economic sectors. NSF investments are needed to develop new foundational AI theory and implementation techniques, as well as novel AI methods that are inspired by use cases in specific application domains and contexts.

what if we ask chatgpt to figure out physics for us and it gives us some absolutely fucked to death recursive nonsense but- what if- what if we like get lucky and it somehow works, the llm's quadrillion monkeys typing somehow crack a glitch in reality

i imagine that is about as likely as it actually helping with inventing new fields of science

i'm sure the techbro right actually believes this

because otherwise how are they going to take over the MIC if the I part evaporates
