The application of ML and AI to assist engineers and scientists in accelerating the innovation process.
Name in original language
National Research Council of Canada's AI for Design and Scientific Discovery Challenge Program
Initiative overview
The use of AI is of increasing interest in many fields. The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) chose this area of focus because of its large complement of engineers and scientists who can readily apply the technology. The program structure is novel for NRC and heavily favours collaboration with experts outside of the NRC.The initiative has the following objectives:To develop new AI algorithms and to apply them to accelerate design and discovery. In particular, the program will demonstrate AI that accelerates the design of state-of-the-art photonic components, human gene therapies and new materials for clean fuels. The resulting algorithms will then be repurposed for additional technology sectors or domains of design and discovery.
