The Emergence of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems to be everywhere today – with applications in almost all fields of modern science. From robotics and biology to chemical engineering and healthcare, applying AI positions most scientific fields for progress. What exactly is AI? Will AI change the scientific discovery process? Are we ready to take advantage of AI and understand its impact on science and society? Governments increasingly view AI as the main driver of future growth, competitiveness, and national security. While the policy responses to AI differ significantly across countries, so far, they share the ultimate goal of securing a top spot in this emerging field. This special symposium brings together leading experts to unveil the mystery that often shrouds these technologies and present stellar AI-enabled advances in various fields of science. Researchers from ETH Zurich and other institutions will present various facets of AI and openly discuss conceptual opportunities, but also point to its current practical and abstract limitations.
