Abstract

Physicists aim to explain the Universe in terms of a compact, interpretable set of principles. Deducing those principles from experiments poses many challenging and problems which are ripe for application of AI and present opportunities to develop new AI techniques. I will describe how AI has changed the way particle physicists work and speculate about the role of AI in the future of fundamental physics. Finally, I will describe my experience in science communication, as an author, podcaster and television producer.
