How To Prepare AI For Uses In Science

Is AI ready for use in the sciences? And if not, how can we get there? Stephen Wolfram, Chairman of Wolfram, spoke at Imagination In Action's 'Forging the Future of Business with AI' Summit and speaks about why AI is better with LLMs and how we can use AI usefully in science.

    Semantic space has a shape. It's a model, so of course it has a similar shape to what is being modeled. I like the idea that only that which is simple or computationally reducible can be modeled sufficiently in current scale foundation models. Rigorous agentic behavior is necessary to deal with computationally difficult activation pathways.

    Also it's pretty discrediting to LLMs to say they are only good because language has (easy) grammar. A lot of tests on LLMs show that they have a (though limited, incomplete) world model. It understands basic mathematics, and some basic things about our world.

    I think that world model that LLMs have is a fundamental part of language, and shows there are deeper underlying patterns in language that hint at a world view. I think that's what we are seeing with this emergent world view in LLMs

    It’s encoding not compression. The difference is subtle but important for technical rigour and to explain the decoding which holds the generative capacity. Decompression wouldn’t be considered correct either it’s called decoding.

    When I have an amount of data and find a rule that can generate a big part of that data reliably, I can then replace that chunk of the data with my much shorter rule. That way I have compressed the data. So to me, it's exclusive, you and Joscha can both be right.

    Before we can expect an AI to accurately predict meaningful events, it probably needs to be able to accurately describe the present, and prior events. A graph structure is probably a good way to represent the present and the past.

    LMs in Science? Do LMs behave like scientists? After chatting with ChatGPT for some time I think it behaves like a lazy student during an oral exam. The student is brilliant in using the language, maybe because he already read some books in his life but he did not prepare for this particular exam. So, when asked by the teacher he produces a good sounding answer, the best he can produce, some kind of small talk inspired by a mix of everything he read in his life. The question is, are we (humans, scientists) all and always behaving like a lazy student? Does the ability to create or find new knowledge emerge from the size of a LM?

    Ok. So. That seems wrong. A sine wave is super easy to define and anyone can plot the next points based on the previous points whereas for a sentence the prediction, yes maybe easier than we thought, but it’s much harder to predict the next word. Anyway. I feel that was a poor example.

    Regarding the sine wave example.. He meant that you have to make the machine learn trigonometry first to be able to complete the plot (Which is a herculian task). Without learning, it would just copy.

    My opinion is that Stephen Wolfram is struggling to understand modern transformer based AI and I'm not sure why because he's actually described them in the past. Whilst its technically true an LLM such as chat GPT simply produces a next word based on statistics, its disingenuous to say that's all its doing because with that statement there is no implication of the profound understanding inherent in the model of every word prior, in the context of its training leading to that choice. Stephen's downplaying of neural networks leaves me cold. Sorry, your attempt at creating AI using graphs and tokens didn't work out, Stephen.

    I think I agree with you, but you found some pretty harsh words. Stephen has as broad a horizon in mathematics, physics and computer science as it gets and is absolutely used to integrating new ideas into his framework quickly and easily. LLMs are a new idea he tried to explore scientifically too quickly without having tested them enough as a user before, to get a good grasp of their capabilities and understanding of the world. The actual problem then arises when he's ask about LLMs and speaks with confidence about them without having a clear and above average grasp.

    Never heard of this guy, but he comes across as someone whose qualities do not include humility and curiosity. His idea of the genesis of human language seems rather unsophisticated. People 200000 years ago were certainly much more concerned with animals and plants they could eat than they were with rocks. That he mentions rocks first tells me that he has not really spent a lot of time thinking about how human language could have evolved.
