Artificial intelligence for science

Event

Some remarkable scientific advances, in many fields, have been made possible or greatly accelerated by the contribution of artificial intelligence (AI). This conference and its speakers from diverse backgrounds will show you, in accessible language, how these results have been achieved, by combining AI with domain knowledge and the usual mathematical, statistical and computational approaches.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our society and upending scientific research. In 2024, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to AlphaFold, a software program capable of predicting the structure of proteins using AI, a challenge that had remained unsolvable for fifty years. And that's just one example: in medicine, biology, physics, the sciences of the universe, etc., the advances are multiplying.

This conference proposes to discover, in accessible language, how AI complements traditional numerical approaches (modeling, computer science, mathematics, statistics) and opens up new perspectives. It will show the diversity of methods, their spectacular successes and their promises for the future. A meeting to understand, be inspired and imagine the future of science with AI-open to all research enthusiasts.

This conference is organized by Marie-Paule Cani, member of the Académie des sciences, professor at the École polytechnique and Olivier Gascuel, member of the Académie des sciences, research director at the CNRS.
