freeScience of AI & AI for Science
The second Leuven.AI scientific workshop will zoom in on two perspectives on science and AI.
The "Science of AI" focuses on the study of artificial intelligence itself. It delves into the inner workings of AI algorithms, machine learning techniques, and the underlying mathematics that enable these systems. Understanding the science behind AI, we can develop more advanced AI models, improve their accuracy, speed, and transparency, and create intelligent systems with positive socioeconomic impacts.
"AI for Science" explores the fusion of artificial intelligence with scientific research, not only accelerating scientific discoveries but also examining its societal impacts and influence across various fields. Beyond enhancing, e.g., drug discovery, genomics, or astrophysics, AI's role extends to analyzing its effects on ethics, policy-making, healthcare, and more. Our exploration encompasses both advancing knowledge within specific domains and critically examining AI's broader impact on research, innovation, and society.
Join us for Leuven.AI's major scientific event.
