In the 20th century, non-Euclidean geometry transformed how we model the world with pen and paper.

Now, it is disrupting how we model the world with machines.

The era of artificial scientific intelligence is here.

As algorithms generate discoveries at scale, what role remains for human scientists? 🤔
