This webinar will look at how AI is becoming an integral part of the research process, from accelerating discovery through intelligent data analysis to supporting researchers as a ‘scientific co-pilot’ in design and decision-making. The speakers will also address the practical and legal implications of this shift, including licensing and data-sharing issues, and concrete applications of machine learning in experimental physics.

The use and impact of artificial intelligence in research and innovation
