Abstract Scope |
Although artificial intelligence (AI) has great potential for enabling and accelerating materials and manufacturing (M&M) innovations, there is currently not a consistent plan for how to implement AI techniques into materials and materials-related manufacturing processes. Thus, on behalf of the Office of Naval Research and the National Institute of Science and Technology, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) has engaged in a science and technology accelerator study on Employing Artificial Intelligence to Accelerate Development and Implementation of Materials and Manufacturing Innovations. This recently completed study and report are the result of the volunteer efforts of a team of internationally known subject matter experts, and this presentation will provide some key highlights, concerning in particular (1) the value proposition and key application areas of AI in M&M, (2) key gaps, barriers, and enablers, and (3) recommendations and detailed action plans to help realize the great potential of AI in M&M. |
