Written in accessible language without mathematical formulas, this short
book provides an overview of the wide and varied applications of
artificial intelligence (AI) across the spectrum of physical sciences.
Focusing in particular on AI's ability to extract patterns from data,
known as machine learning (ML), the book includes a chapter on important
machine learning algorithms and their respective applications in
physics. It then explores the use of ML across a number of important
sub-fields in more detail, ranging from particle, molecular and
condensed matter physics, to astrophysics, cosmology and the theory of
everything. The book covers such applications as the search for new
particles and the detection of gravitational waves from the merging of
black holes, and concludes by discussing what the future may hold.
