We read this literature all the time.
Anyway, you know, can it really be creative is the question.
Like, the really big breakthroughs in science are usually mavericks who think outside the box.
AI is not very good at thinking outside the box because it's looking inside the box, you know.
So one question is, again, we'll still need creativity and humans to do it.
You've got it.
And nor at a conference talking like I do.
My main skill for that, when I go to meet someone for a drink and you have a conversation, you get an idea that way from them by talking to them.
AI won't replace that necessarily.
The big one is data analysis.
So one example of my own research, we had a thing with these guys in Edinburgh.
It took this guy about 10 minutes to use AI to assess the data he generated for us.
It would have taken, I'd say, a day to analyse all the data with a human being, you know.
So again, we're seeing a speeding up of data analysis.
Okay, here's the big question for you.
Nuclear fusion is always 10 years away.
Yes, that's right.
Can AI do anything about that?
Well, in Camilla, her piece, she says, where will be the benefits of AI?
If AI can crack nuclear fusion, that'll be a massive contribution to humanity with a cheap supply of power forever, right?
