Abstract

AI is a powerful tool that promises to solve some of the hardest problems in science. These advancements can be further leveraged to tackle problems of global societal importance including climate change and resilience, improving the efficiency of green technologies, and more efficient control schemes for complex systems. Like any other tool, the deployment of these AI-based solutions requires careful consideration especially when considering the validation of these AI techniques, the reproducibility of the results, and the verifiability of correctness. This presentation gives an overview on how global organizations, academia, and industry are addressing these problems and provides some examples of promising areas where AI is being leveraged for scientific advancement.
