Love Data Week Keynote Presentation: Science in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Description

Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a tremendous impact on every aspect of our life, including science. In this talk, Alexander S. Szalay, professor of physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, will discuss various aspects of how science is changing very rapidly and contrasts trends in academia to those in the industry. It is clear that data science and AI will transform universities and the scientific method, but today it is difficult to predict realistic expectations from the extreme hype. Szalay will also emphasize the importance of fundamental statistical principles, how science must go beyond applying black boxes, and how AI can also help in designing and controlling future experiments.
