Under the microscope – Artificial Intelligence for Scientific Discovery and Design
Sous le microscope : l’intelligence artificielle pour la découverte et la conception scientifiques

Panel Organized by: National Research Council

Science and discovery is a driving force of global economies. The use of AI and machine learning for science and engineering has the potential to radically transform the nature of
scientific inquiry and discovery. This panel will 1) examine the unique legal, ethical, social and policy considerations for AI for science and discovery; and 2) engage with the audience to identify gaps in current policies and next steps for addressing those gaps, including follow-up actions for further engagement with stakeholders.
