We discuss why AI is hard and why physics is simple. We discuss how physical intuition and the approach of theoretical physics can be brought to bear on the field of artificial intelligence and specifically machine learning. We suggest that the underlying project of machine learning and the underlying project of physics are strongly coupled through the principle of sparsity, and we call upon theoretical physicists to work on AI as physicists. As a first step in that direction, we discuss an upcoming book on the principles of deep learning theory that attempts to realize this approach.

  1. Criticality analysis of nuclear binding energy neural networks

    nucl-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    On a two-input nuclear binding energy network, the paper validates ANNFT predictions for variance, kurtosis, and an optimal depth-to-width ratio r*=0.034 under SGD, while adaptive optimizers obscure criticality.
