AI for Science

← all concepts

Definition

AI for science is the application of machine-learning systems to accelerate scientific discovery: predicting protein structures, proposing experiments, scanning the literature, simulating systems. The interesting cases are where the AI changes what experiments are worth running, not just how fast existing ones get analyzed.
