Elon Musk believes that the era of AI or even AGI will rarely produce massive paradigm shifts, similar to those achieved by Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.
In a new post on X, Musk says AI tools will be used to create new inventions and build new worlds based on our current understanding of physics.
Musk says he does not believe that the power of AI will be harnessed to rewrite the laws of physics, noting that they are mostly already discovered.
“There will be a little discovery along the lines of Newton or Einstein, but ~100% of intelligence output in the future will be the creation of the new, rather than understanding the basic rules of reality.
The pattern of the quarks, leptons & photons is almost everything.”
In response, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says AI can still unlock new frameworks via massive pattern matching and data synthesis. He notes that AI may be able to help a scientist become a new Einstein or Newton by unlocking a new layer of reality.
“I feel like it might be possible with the help of AI tools to find some very elegant and compact descriptions that explain some of the deepest mysteries of the universe, but it might take a lot of pattern processing and matching to get there…”
