Digital transformation, also dubbed as Industry 4.0, is in full swing. AI transformation, however, is just at the beginning, raising many societal and individual issues such as the replacement of human researchers with intelligent machines.
Many scientists are arguing that the latest techniques in machine learning and AI represent a fundamentally new way of doing scientific research.
One such approach, known as generative modelling, can help identify the most plausible theory among competing explanations for observational data, based solely on the data without any preprogramed knowledge of what physical processes might be at work in the system under study.
