Scientific Programme

The NSF Workshop on the Future of AI and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (AI+MPS) will include invited participants from each MPS domain who are experts in their field to contribute their perspectives on AI both in their fields and in interdisciplinary research. The invited participants will have the opportunity to present case studies and will be active contributors to the resulting white paper.
