Challenges and Opportunities in the Application of AI to Materials R&D: James Warren1; Taylor Sparks; Adam Kopper; Elizabeth Holm; Benji Maruyama; 1National Institute of Standards and Technology
Join a discussion with a panel of the AIM 2022 organizers to examine the current state of the application of AI to materials R&D as we identify where the most exciting opportunities may lie. We will cover the challenges that must be overcome to realize the promise of AI for materials research, while avoiding the pitfalls inherent in this powerful new approach. Additionally, we will discuss ways we can unify the community around issues of global importance, where the application of AI techniques to materials R&D can make a substantial difference in human well-being, as well as the role of the funding agencies in improving the R&D landscape. We will plan time for attendees to both weigh in on these issues and pose additional questions to the panelists.
