This is a past event.

Five professors from the Physics Department, MTU will present at this week’s Physics Colloquium in a panel discussion titled: "Using AI to Explore Physics: A Panel of Professors Tell Their Stories".

The seminar will be presented  at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday (Feb.12) in Fisher 139. The coffee hour will be held at 3:30 in the Fisher Hall Lobby.

Abstract  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dramatically changing how some physics research is done. But how? And how can a modern physicist effectively use AI to uncover new knowledge in their specialty? No clear answers yet exist, but several trends are emerging. Many biases are also emerging, including considering the use of AI to be either: dangerous, lazy, benign, irrelevant, enlightening, or accelerative. Some consider the use of AI to be cheating, while others consider that not using AI will lead to becoming uncompetitive. Here a panel of five MTU physics professors will briefly recount how they have recently used AI before the floor is opened for general discussion.
