    Ai2 and Google collaborate on a new generation of climate models

    Combining traditional physics equations with AI enables researchers to simulate decades of complex climate and ocean interactions at a fraction of the computational cost of conventional models, while open-sourcing the weights and code makes these tools accessible to the broader scientific community.

    Ai2 is partnering with Google Research and receiving multimillion-dollar funding from Google.org over three years to develop NeuralGCM+, an open-source hybrid AI and physics climate model. The initiative will extend Google's existing NeuralGCM to simulate both the atmosphere and oceans together for long-term, multi-decade climate projections.

    Egoless Mathematics in the AI Era

    As AI capabilities in formal reasoning and mathematics advance, prominent researchers are grappling with the philosophical implications for human inquiry and the nature of scientific credit.

    In a guest essay on Terence Tao's blog, researchers Karthik C. S., Amit Sahai, and Jie Xue argue that the rise of AI in mathematics should prompt mathematicians to adopt an "egoless" perspective on their work. They suggest that viewing mathematical truth as something independent to be understood rather than a measure of personal output allows researchers to embrace AI discoveries without feeling their own purpose is threatened.
