Scientists are using AI to develop new materials: “AI can now learn the laws of physics and chemistry on its own, enabling it to imagine and predict new materials.” (scored.co)

It would be nice to see some interesting new materials be developed with AI. Strong, light and cheap preferably.

They’ve been using machine learning to develop engineered designs for decades now. The problem with this is that when the building collapses, who do you legally blame? Machines can’t be held accountable. When software glitches and a hospital kills all its patients, how do you blame the LLM that was told to vibe code a more efficient, Internet-connected ADS firmware?

What's that have to do with this article? Or do you think it's going to say "here's a novel material" and we'll jump into constructing entire buildings with it without anyone checking to actually see if the material is viable or running any tests on it?

You're not wrong if we were letting it design buildings unchecked, but that's not what we're talking about here. But sure. In those unrelated examples, in completely different domains, yes?

Please, some basic reading comprehension.

Doesn’t matter if this is done. WHEN a problem happens, who becomes legally liable?

But sure. In those unrelated examples, in completely different domains, yes?

Self-driving cars. Real world example, already in place. Who is legally liable when the autonomous software–which was trained on itself and the shape of the world around it–makes a mistake?

Whatever companies that put it on the the market/put it in the products, no different than when a human employee makes the mistake

The inability to blame individuals or even the corporation for these problems is one of the biggest reasons they would use AI.

I don't know if there are specific laws in place (probably are considering how corrupt everything is) but I would say even though machines come up with the base design it would still need to be approved by a human (or team of humans) who would be liable for any failures that occur due to their AI's design and their negligence for not properly testing it.

Not just normal qualities you can touch.

For instance materials that emit heat radiation in bands the air is transparent to. Completely inert material that just gets cold as if by magic.

They've made it already, just not cheaply.

What I want is a sturdy and long-lasting material that can withstand the extreme heat and powerful magnetic forces that would be required to make nuclear fusion reactors a reality. If AI is able to figure this out, then every investment in the technology would have been more than entirely worth the cost.
