The initiative aims to cultivate interdisciplinary researchers who are proficient in both AI technologies and one or more scientific domains. It will also assist researchers with access to and sharing of relevant datasets and compute resources, and promote the collocation of researchers to foster co-creation and maximise transferability of capabilities and expertise to multiple domains of science.
Singapore will pump in an additional $120 million investment in AI for Science, which is part of the National AI Strategy 2.0.
Led by the National Research Foundation (NRF), the AI for Science initiative will fund collaborations between AI researchers and scientific domain experts in areas such as advanced materials research and biomedical and health sciences. It also welcomes from the research community on other thematic areas.
