Future Ways of Doing Science

Jerome C. Glenn, CEOThe Millennium Project

8th World Conference of Scientific YouthLima, Peru

Science is a way of knowing (an epistemology).

I cannot know the future of knowledge

But can know potential new ways of doing science, than can accelerate it.

Computational ScienceComputational biology

Computational Chemistry

Computational Physics

Saves lab costssaves animal livessaves time, and grind computer creates super computers at no cost

Artificial Intelligence Will Change Science

Artificial Intelligence1. Artificial Narrow Intelligence2. Artificial General Intelligence3. Artificial Super Intelligence

When this begins to happen, the speed of increasing AI’s intelligence will be far fasterand produce more change than Moore’s Law

by responding to feedback from sensor networks worldwide,

will accelerate AI’s intelligence worldwide… moment by moment

Artificial General Intelligence … that can autonomously “write” and improve its code…

These three together will change the speed new of scientific knowledge

Increasing Intelligence:both Individual and Collective Intelligence

EU, US, China Human Brain Projects; Google & IBM artificial brain projects

Human Intelligence is also a factor in doing science

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates 1991

By 2030 billions of people could be augmented geniuses, and what could they create?

International S&T Organization (ISTO)as Collective Intelligence

• Not a bureaucracy but a collective intelligence system for the world

• The management of ideas, research, scientists, AI systems

• Available to all, with procedures for participation and review

• An example of a collective intelligence system for futures research is the Global Futures Intelligence System at www.themp.org

Hands-free, phone free, laptop free, AI-human symbiosis

Will STEM Education (S&T, Engineering, Mathematics) Make a Difference?

After 2030 as AI learns how to learn in general, simultaneously and world/wide?
