AI & Advanced Computing

The AI & Advanced Computing Institute at Schmidt Sciences supports fundamental research in artificial intelligence (AI), the application of AI and data science across a wide variety of disciplines, and the creation of high-impact research platforms that can speed discovery.

Our Programs

AI2050

AI2050 aims to support exceptional people working on the key opportunities and hard problems that are critical to get right for society to benefit from artificial intelligence.

Humanities and AI Virtual Institute (HAVI)

The Humanities and AI Virtual Institute (HAVI) aims to advance scholarship in the humanities through the use of AI-based technology for research.

Safety Science

The Safety Science program aims to deepen our understanding of the safety properties of systems built with large language models (LLMs) and to develop well-founded, concrete, implementable technical methods for testing and evaluating LLMs. The program will improve understanding of the relationships between and implications of various testing methodologies, grow the technical AI safety academic community, and ensure that safety theory is informed by practice—and vice versa.

Accelerate Programme for Scientific Discovery

The Cambridge Accelerate Programme for Scientific Discovery provides young researchers with specialized training in AI techniques, equipping them with the skills they need to use machine learning and AI to power their research. The Programme will generate insights that accelerate scientific progress and create AI tools that are capable of delivering benefits for science and society.

ELICSIR Foundation

The ELICSIR Foundation aims to cultivate a new generation of exceptionally talented and motivated young computer scientists and to significantly improve Italy’s global reputation in the field of computing.
