Summary

Summary

This symposium brings together leading researchers, funders, and compute providers in the AI for Science space. The goal is to distill replicable strategies for success and pinpoint major pain points holding the field back.

Three keynote panels—on research, funding, and infrastructure—will drive focused discussions. As will a fireside chat between Vinod Khosla (Khosla Ventures) and Lauren Reeder (Sequoia). Insights will be summarized in a white paper outlining the pressing challenges and promising opportunities in harnessing the promise of AI for scientific discovery.

A curated set of posters on breakthrough research will anchor conversation during several extended mixers.
