“When you think about a whole society of AIs how will it behave? What will happen?” Brian Greene and pioneering computer scientist and physicist Stephen Wolfram explore this question and more on the World Science Festival Youtube channel. https://lnkd.in/gzpzkzcW #artificialintelligence #computerscience #STEM

STRAIGHT TALK ON QUANTUM COMPUTING Scott Aaronson, renowned computer scientist known for his no nonsense take on, well, everything, joins Brian Greene to demystify the state of quantum computation, AI, and much more. #briangreene #worldsciencefestival #quantumphysics #quantumcomputing #quantummechanics #openai #ai

Renowned computer scientist & Coursera co-founder Daphne Koller Brian Greene to discuss her new venture in using machine learning for drug discovery and development. Watch the full discussion: https://lnkd.in/gjngCD_C #artificalintelligence #worldsciencefestival #MachineLearning

How confident are we that most matter in the universe has so far escaped detection? And if there is dark matter, might there be dark stars and even a dark big bang? Leading physicist Katherine Freese joins Brian Greene to explore these dark matters. Watch the full discussion: https://lnkd.in/gQ27AcXz #darkmatter #cosmology

Are quantum computers the game-changer they’re described to be, or is the promise of exponential speedup overblown? https://lnkd.in/gmJq3hXD Join pioneer Seth Lloyd and Brian Greene as they discuss how the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics are leveraged by quantum computers, and the algorithmic challenges in achieving the promised exponential power. #QuantumComputing #quantummechanics #quantumphysics

Decoding Thoughts: The New Frontier of AI What if the last bastion of privacy - our thoughts - was no longer impenetrable? In a remarkable conversation at the World Science Festival hosted by the ever-inspiring Brian Greene, we explore how AI is beginning to decode the mind. Researchers Michael Blumenstein and Jerry Tang are pioneering non-invasive “mind-reading” technologies that can translate neural activity into language. Using fMRI and EEG scans, they’re unlocking the potential to give voice to those who cannot speak and revolutionize how we understand the human brain. But as we push the boundaries of what’s possible, we must also consider the profound ethical questions: What happens when our thoughts are no longer our own? How do we protect the privacy of the mind in a world where technology continues to advance at lightning speed? This is a conversation you won’t want to miss. The future is here, and it’s both thrilling and unsettling.

Is creative expression the exclusive domain of the human mind, or can artificial intelligence reach — or assist humans in reaching — the enigmatic brilliance of artistic genius? Renowned multimedia artist Matthew Ritchie joins Brian Greene to delve into the potential of AI in the visual arts, exploring how technology may reshape the future of creativity. #GenerativeAI #generativeart #briangreene https://lnkd.in/gPQ-nNbX

Did the molecules that make up life ride to earth on an asteroid? Planetary scientists Jessica Barnes & Phil Bland join #BrianGreene to discuss NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's recent rendezvous with #bennu, a near earth asteroid, seeking insight into the origins of life. #OSIRISRex https://lnkd.in/gpYhF9wC

In June 2024, I attended the World Science Festival in New York City. I was part of the 2023 cohort of the World Science Scholars, a community of exceptional young people from 5 continents. While I had known them online for nearly a year, it was wonderful to connect in person. I also met my professors including Brian Greene and Nim Tottenham who I managed to ask two insightful questions. I can safely say it was one of, if not the best experience of my life. Grateful to James Bourtis, Robin B., and the whole WSF team for making this memorable. Super Grateful to Mr Kudzai N for giving me a tour of the city. No enough words to thank the Almighty:)

Last week the World Science Festival released this great video on how Fundamental Science will be altered in the Age of AI. Featuring Brian Greene, best-selling author and Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Columbia University (the Jon Stewart of science), and Eric Horvitz, Microsoft’s Chief Scientific Officer, it’s an interesting and far-reaching discussion of what’s ahead for all of us.
