Sobre los Límites del Estudio Científico de los Sistemas Complejos Seminario de Sistemas Complejos, ComplexityLab, Centro de Ciencias de la Complejidad, UNAM El profesor Carlos Gershenson presentó una charla sobre los límites de la ciencia y la inteligencia artificial, explicando conceptos como complejidad, sistemas formales y las limitaciones inherentes en la predicción de fenómenos complejos. Gershenson discutió cómo los sistemas complejos presentan interacciones relevantes que limitan nuestra capacidad de predicción y modelado, usando ejemplos de matemáticas, física e inteligencia artificial para ilustrar estos conceptos. Los participantes realizaron preguntas sobre asimetrías en sistemas complejos, trampas comunes en el modelado, límites de replicabilidad y aplicaciones prácticas, a lo que Gershenson respondió con ejemplos específicos y consejos sobre cómo abordar estos desafíos en la investigación.

Call for bids: Conference on Complex Systems (CCS 2028) The Complex Systems Society (CSS) organizes every year the Conference on Complex Systems (CCS), the flagship annual meeting of the international complexity science community. The CSS hereby invites bids to host the 2028 edition of CCS. The conference is typically held in September–October and is intended to be primarily an in-person event, in order to preserve the value of direct interaction and collective discussion that characterize CCS. Hybrid formats may nevertheless be considered in a limited form, in particular to ensure inclusivity for participants who are unable to travel. Interested organizing teams are invited to submit a proposal document outlining their bid. More at: cssociety.org

🚨 What if evolution is the ”law”… and networks are the machines that do the work?

In this paper (just published) I try to formalize how living systems are non-equilibrium, information-processing, adaptive matter. With a great biological flavor! 🧪🌐🌍🧬🦠

AI’s errors may be impossible to eliminate – what that means for its use in health care Many health symptoms can be caused by multiple illnesses – if AI can’t tell the difference between them, it won’t be able to operate accurately without human oversight.

Hoy recién pude escuchar esta charla de @cgershen.bsky.social que tuvo lugar hace casi un mes. Con mi background arqueológico pensé que no iba a poder entenderla y no solo se entiende sino que está cargada de contenidos filosófico-sociales. Super interesante, la recomiendo

Shows why you cannot deal with variety using uniformity; why you cannot control heterogeneity with homogeneity.
