Surya Ganguli argues that physics may be a more direct route to scientific understanding of AI than math-heavy theorem-proof approaches.
His main point is that physics has decades of experience studying complex systems, which may make it better suited to reasoning about modern AI than purely formal computer-science or mathematical frameworks.
