Artificial Intelligence Colloquium: Accelerating Chemistry with AI

Speaker: Dr. Anne Fischer, Program Manager, DARPA / Defense Sciences Office Today, synthetic chemistry requires skilled experts working to discover, make and test new molecules. Current approaches are mired in slow, iterative design/test cycles with poor reproducibility and scalability, relying heavily on human intuition and domain expertise. DARPA is exploring how AI can help automate traditionally human-centric efforts to accelerate innovation in chemistry. This talk will focus on how AI is being applied to develop new approaches to automate and accelerate discovery, optimization and production of high-performance small molecules. https://www.darpa.mil/program/accelerated-molecular-discovery https://www.darpa.mil/program/make-it
