AI may become default tool for theoretical science, MIT researchers say

MIT researchers told WIRED that artificial intelligence may soon become the default way to solve theoretical problems in economics, high-energy physics, and other fields. They argue AI systems are increasingly capable of assisting with the kinds of complex reasoning long handled solely by human theorists, potentially reshaping how fundamental research is conducted across multiple scientific disciplines.

Why now: AI's rapid advance into scientific research is a top conversation topic, and a claim that it could displace traditional theoretical methods in economics and physics is striking.
