Abstract. Most traditional artificial intelligence (AI) systems of
the past 50 years are either very limited, or based on heuristics,
or both. The new millennium, however, has brought substantial
progress in the field of theoretically optimal and practically
feasible algorithms for prediction, search, inductive inference
based on Occam's razor, problem solving, decision making, and
reinforcement learning in environments of a very general type.
Since inductive inference is at the heart of all inductive
sciences, some of the results are relevant not only for AI and
computer science but also for physics, provoking nontraditional
predictions based on Zuse's thesis of the computer-generated
universe.
