How long before one of the most coveted awards in science is given to an accomplishment by artificial intelligence or AI, technology? Some are skeptical but many foresee it as almost inevitable that AI will be credited for making science and engineering breakthroughs. Others say AI has limitations that inhibit it from being the sole creator of original technological advances. Subbarao Kampbhampati, a professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, says the life experiences of human researchers are critical to the creative process. He and others contend the lack of real-world experience will make it difficult for AI to pose the creative questions and gain the worldly insights that spark true innovation.
