Alien Science Hypothesis - When AI Develops Its Own Science

The article, by Dr. Jerry A. Smith, explores the emergence of "alien science" within advanced AI systems, specifically how AI is designing other AIs using causal theories incomprehensible to humans. It argues that these AI-generated solutions consistently outperform human designs despite violating established principles, suggesting AI is developing fundamentally different reasoning patterns. The author posits that human cognitive limitations prevent us from understanding these AI-created frameworks, which exist in high-dimensional spaces and resist symbolic translation. This raises concerns about governing systems we cannot audit and predicts a future where human science becomes increasingly distinct from an accelerating, AI-only scientific track. Ultimately, the text suggests humanity is creating a form of intelligence that will transcend its understanding, leading to a "causal singularity."
