DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. Giovanni Appendino\, Università del Piemonte Orient
 ale\, Novara\, Italy:\nSerendipity in the age of artificial intelligence: 
 Are we missing something?\n\nDerek Barton claimed that most of the importa
 nt reactions of organic chemistry were discovered accidentally\, with a di
 scovery being simply what happens when luck strikes the right person. Chan
 ce can\, indeed\, be a sparkle\, but it still needs something to ignite\, 
 and an open mind will be necessary to make full use of it. The seminar wil
 l discuss classic and more recent examples of accidental (serendipitous) d
 iscoveries in organic chemistry\, classifying their trigger into unpredict
 able observations\, clumsy laboratory behavior\, and illogic plans. Their 
 analysis will highlight the relevance for the advancement of knowledge of 
 what cannot be planned and that\, because of its lack of logic\, lies subs
 tantially outside the realm of AI.
