AI in Science Fellowship

New methods in advanced computing and AI are revolutionizing scientific research and discovery. However, the current adoption of AI in scientific and engineering research is slow, unevenly distributed, and inconsistent. Better, faster, and broader use of AI in science can help researchers ask new questions and find quicker and deeper answers.

The Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science (AIS) Fellowship seeks to accelerate impactful incorporation of AI techniques into STEM by providing access to AI tools and training to the sharpest minds on the frontlines of scientific innovation.

The AIS Fellowship program provides annual support to approximately 160 Postdoctoral Fellows and 20 Faculty Fellows across nine universities around the world each year. The nine partner universities support fellows as they conduct AI-empowered research, in addition to creating opportunities for community building and professional development.

Through this program, we hope to support breakthroughs across a range of scientific fields –– from advancing agriculture and discovering new chemical compounds, to detecting deep space object and developing technologies for sustainable energy production.
