Physicists may soon join the ranks of the unemployed due to artificial intelligence (AI). Australian physicists have created an AI that can run and even improve a complex physics experiment with little oversight. They've automated an experiment creating an extremely cold gas trapped in a laser beam, known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Bose-Einstein condensates are some of the coldest objects in the Universe, far colder than outer space--typically less than a billionth of a degree above absolute zero. They are extremely sensitive to external disturbances, which allows them to make very precise measurements such as tiny changes in the Earth's magnetic field or gravity.
