AI as a physicist
The development of a new theory is typically associated with the greats of physics. You might think of Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein, for example. Many Nobel Prizes have already been awarded for new theories. Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich have now programmed an artificial intelligence that has also mastered this feat. Their AI is able to recognize patterns in complex data sets and to formulate them in a physical theory.

Forschungsrealität verzerrt dargestellt
This article is available in German only.
Die Initiative Tierversuche verstehen hat die jüngste Sendung „45 Minuten – Das Schicksal der Laborhunde“ vom 20. November einem Faktencheck unterzogen und ist auf eine voreingenommene Darstellung mit einer Vielzahl von falschen Behauptungen und Unterstellungen gestoßen. So wird ein künstlich hergestelltes Foto als „nachgestellt“ deklariert, angebliche Verhaltensauffälligkeiten der Tiere verzerrt dargestellt und Informationen für eine ausgewogene Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema ignoriert. Im Beitrag „Illegale Tierversuche – Massive Verstöße in deutschen Versuchslaboren“ auf Tagesschau.de werden die Inhalte wiederholt. Mehrere Forschende und Tierpfleger:innen kündigten gegen den TV-Beitrag Programmbeschwerden an.
