Large Language Models reached the threshold of becoming useful tools in scientific research. Moreover, they have actually surpassed the capabilities of humans in many concrete tasks. This has a disruptive effect in all of science, and theoretical physics is one of the subjects that is already being affected now.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together scientists working in mathematical and statistical physics, and to discuss the immense possibilities and potential problems that this technology brings about.
The event will host invited talks, contributed talks, and discussion sessions.
Key topics
- Scientific results in our research areas, achieved in most part with AI.
- Experiences with using AI, discussion of the different technologies.
- Discussion sessions about the issues/problems that this technology brings about (teaching, publication systems, hiring researchers, etc)
- Coordination of collective efforts, in order to solve major problems in our research areas.
- Coordination of efforts towards formalizations (Lean).
