AI in science : harnessing the power of AI to accelerate discovery and foster innovation : policy brief

Science increasingly relies on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to progress, innovate, and deliver solutions to societal challenges. This policy brief advocates for a tailored policy to harness the power of AI to accelerate research capabilities, fostering innovation and driving economic growth. It addresses science-specific needs related to AI, building on and complementing existing AI and R&I policies. It sketches first policy ideas to initiate the debate with R&I stakeholders. We underscore the need to grasp the opportunities arising from an excellent and trustworthy AI for science in order to compete globally and capitalise on future breakthroughs and technologies.
