MIT professor Markus Buehler announced an article, "Recursive Meta-Intelligence," describing a recursive AI system that creates its own scientific instruments, turns them into a world inhabited by a massive agent ecology, and then reasons across vast, nonlinear spaces of possible physical phenomena. He frames AI for science as one of the greatest positive forces for understanding nature and building technologies that improve civilization.
