The prospect is exciting for AI experts, but even more so for us scientists. AI's incredible learning power originates from its ability to learn a "representation," or pattern, from the data—a technique similar to how physicists have discovered laws of nature in order to better understand our world. Having access to the minds of AI may therefore grant us the opportunity to learn new, undiscovered laws of physics.

I hope so. I have a minor stake in an AI company that I am trying to sell off by the end of the year. It very much is a pattern-detection type of technology, still in a nascent state at this point, but it would benefit by being part of a larger entity.
