AI for Basic Science Initiative Workshop
TBD
Contact name: Diane Beck
Contact email: dmbeck@illinois.edu
The Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB) and the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology are developing a campus-wide initiative to expand the university's capacity for interdisciplinary AI-powered basic science research, to complement other related campus efforts in this space.
Fully unlocking the potential of artificial intelligence for basic science is nontrivial and bridging computational and scientific fields requires research teams to have unique knowledge, practices, and infrastructure. Successful examples already exist on campus. The purpose of this initiative is to distill, develop, and disseminate lessons from these pioneering efforts as well as create new connections. The objective is to bring together researchers currently working at this interface, those whose science could benefit from AI solutions, and AI researchers interested in applying their techniques to a new scientific domain.
The AI for Basic Science initiative is planning an initial workshop for the morning of January 17. More details, including speakers and full agenda, will be announced soon but please save the date. We hope to see you there!
