AI has already contributed to applications across all STEM fields. In this Nobel Prize Dialogue we look ahead to the ways that AI might transform science in the future. Demis Hassabis, Alison Noble and Paul Nurse join us to discuss how the scientific community can get the best out of AI. Together we will explore how to meet challenges such as data heterogeneity, transparency and the proprietary nature of AI tools. We will also consider access to resources and the growing skills gap. Given the growing demand for science to tackle so many of the problems confronting us, how do we imagine AI’s contribution will help us meet those needs?
