Ars Magna et Ultima

What it does

The Ars Magna et Ultima project is a revolutionary approach to the automatic discovery of interesting questions.

Current research focuses on the known unknowns, those problems that we know exist, although we do not know how to solve them. Ars Magna enables us to uncover questions in the realm of the unknown unknowns. These are problems for which not only are the solutions unknown, but the problems themselves have not yet been identified. By creatively combining existing topics from different areas of knowledge and applying generative artificial intelligence to these combinations, we can discover new research topics.

Our goal is to bring the research of the future into the present.

We start with a vast database, every scientific page on Wikipedia, organized by categories, and characterized by novel metrics. For example, relevance measures how many people are affected by a given problem. And maturity quantifies how well we understand the different elements that compose a research topic. By integrating these dimensions, Ars Magna, with the help of the generative AI, can identify where the most fertile ground lies for groundbreaking questions.

In conclusion, Ars Magna is more than an application to foster creativity; it is a new paradigm for knowledge discovery in the age of artificial intelligence.
