The Computational Universe: A New Kind of Science

This course with Stephen Wolfram will explore the computational universe. As the power of AI and machine learning, as well as our reliance on those capabilities, increases exponentially, our future may depend less upon controlling these algorithms and programs than on communicating with them in a language that they and humans can easily understand. Examine several of Professor Wolfram’s principles, including the Principle of Computational Irreducibility and the Principle of Computational Equivalence, to help understand the importance of computational language.
