The Inflection Point

A new scientific era is dawning, where autonomous systems can transform the pace of discovery. This work traces how neuro-symbolic AI—bridging neural intuition and symbolic logic—offers a path beyond the fragility of sheer model scaling. It blends history, from Leibniz and Gauss to overlooked pioneers of deep learning, with present critiques of today’s brittle LLMs and fragile economics. It showcases concrete breakthroughs: original AI-generated proofs in mathematics and physics, and a paradigm called Software 3.0 that turns high-level goals into runtime experiments. At its center stands the resilient story of an immigrant outsider who built order from chaos and then a company to embody this clarity. What happens when science itself becomes the domain of tireless, verifiable AI-Scientists—and what responsibilities emerge when innovation no longer knows human limits?
