Exploring the Computational Universe: Discoveries and Implications
Stephen Wolfram Founder & CEO, Wolfram Research
Abstract: This talk will discuss my current views about the basic science and the practical applications of phenomena in the computational universe of simple programs. I'll talk about my current ideas about modeling, abstraction, and mining the computational universe for technology. I'll also talk about implications for AI, SETI, and basic questions about the role of humans in the computational universe.
