Quanta Magazine recently published a series of articles on machine learning (AI) and how it is affecting math and science.
I recently read the article about how machine learning is affecting mathematics. One theme of this article was that machine assistance gives mathematicians access to new areas of knowledge: much like the effects from previous revolutions such as algebra or computerized tools.
Similarly, this video, associated with the series, demonstrates how machine learning designed working physics experiments which were completely counterintuitive to scientists:
