Nanofabulous Seminar: Toward Autonomous Science: Nanotechnology and the Rise of Self-Learning Machines
This lecture explores the dynamic interplay between artificial intelligence (AI) and nanotechnology, highlighting how each drives the other forward. While AI accelerates material discovery, sensing, and diagnostics, nanotechnology enables the development of advanced hardware such as neuromorphic and quantum systems. Together, they are paving the way for the 5th paradigm of science, where machines autonomously generate knowledge, design experiments, and interpret data with minimal human input. Case studies in biosensing and image analysis illustrate these trends. The lecture will also address the societal implications of this shift toward machine-led scientific discovery.
