Description

This talk explores how artificial intelligence could transform theoretical physics over the next 25 years by addressing the crucial challenge of navigating an increasingly complex scientific literature landscape. We introduce Litmaps, a platform leveraging AI and visualization techniques to accelerate literature discovery and insights.
We illustrate Litmaps' current capabilities in rapidly identifying relevant connections and advancing theoretical research. We also outline critical engineering challenges, including open access to historical literature, data standardization, and managing uncertainty in AI models.
Finally, we highlight the importance of collaboration among physicists, AI researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs, to realise the AI-enhanced future of theoretical physics research.
