Town Hall - Artificial Intelligence

The second of four DOE National Laboratories AI for Science town hall meetings was held August 20-21, 2019 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.  The town halls are aimed at collecting community input on the opportunities and challenges facing the scientific community in the era of convergence of High Performance Computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the expected integration of large-scale simulation, advanced data analysis, data driven predictive modeling, theory, and high-throughput experiments. These discussions will focus on transformational and large-scale uses of AI that use HPC and data analysis as well as take advantage of data sets and challenges unique to DOE user facilities and broad fundamental and applied science enterprise. The goal of AI for Science is to dramatically accelerate our approaches to scientific discovery, improve scientific competitiveness, and open up new avenues of scientific inquiry. Cross-cutting approaches that may fall outside traditional notions of experiment, theory, and simulation are also included.
