Part 8/15:
Some team members work on creating AI models that are as proficient in mathematics as humans, aiming to solve deep mathematical problems—the Riemann Hypothesis, for instance—and advance understanding of physics. Intellectual pursuits like formal logic, algebraic geometry, and measure theory are seen as foundational to both AI development and uncovering the universe’s laws.
Musk emphasizes that building an understanding of the universe and developing AI that can make new scientific discoveries are intertwined. A superintelligent AI could potentially lead to breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and fundamental science, akin to discovering new physics theories or "the theory of everything."
