*“Conformal Bootstrap in the Age of AI"*
**

_*Abstract*_

The conformal bootstrap provides a powerful nonperturbative framework 
for studying strongly coupled quantum field theories using symmetry, 
unitarity, and crossing symmetry.
In this talk, I will review recent developments in analytic functional 
approaches to the numerical bootstrap and present new results in this 
direction. I will then discuss how modern machine-learning ideas can 
open new ways of navigating the space of consistent conformal field 
theories. In particular, I will describe the use of neural networks to 
construct crossing-symmetric correlators from limited physical input, 
and argue that their implicit preference for simple, smooth solutions 
may point toward new organizing principles underlying bootstrap constraints.
