Visiting Von Neumann's Birthplace in Budapest

This Easter break I’ve been visiting Budapest together with my in-laws. The main goal of the trip was to celebrate my father-in-law’s retirement. As expected, the city was everything that someone can imagine of a centre-European, well-history-nourished city: breath-taking views from and of the river, typical food rich in calories, large glasses of beer, etc. However, there was something that indeed disappointed me. Apart from a small inscription at his birthplace, I didn’t find any reference to the life and work of John Von Neumann. Considering that among his achievements one can find solid and fundamental contributions not only to mathematics but to other scientific fields such as computer science and economics, I could find no more than a brief description of his life — not even written by the city hall, but by an association of mathematicians.

I’m Antoni Mut, currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at Leiden University within the ERC Starting Grant project Safe & Sound, focused on evidence-based regulation of healthcare robots. My research sits at the intersection of law, economics, and new technologies.

In Dickens’ words, we are living the best and the worst of times. Whether AI will become a life-changer is still an open question. What I can say with some confidence, however, is that it is already a game-changer for research.
