"I think the scientific method is, arguably, maybe the greatest idea humans have ever had," DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis told the London gathering. "More than ever we need to anchor around the method in today's world, especially with something as powerful and potentially transformative as AI," he said, adding that he thinks neuroscience techniques should be used to analyze AI "brains."
"I feel we should treat this more as a scientific endeavor, if possible, although it obviously has all the implications that breakthrough technologies normally have in terms of the speed of adoption and the speed of change."
Experts at the London event highlighted AI as a scientific tool and argued that the scientific method will best serve researchers seeking to leverage advanced AI models and fathom their complexity.
Scientists from the Arc Institute built an AI model trained on the DNA sequences of microbes rather than words and sentences of text. This "genomic foundation model" can predict how a DNA change affects an organism and generate realistic genomes from scratch.
