About this talk

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the frontiers of scientific discovery at a rapid pace, and philanthropy has a unique opportunity to steer that transformation toward meaningful and broad benefits. This session examines the dual challenge facing the scientific community: harnessing AI as an accelerator for genuine discovery while preserving the rigor and authority that give science its credibility. Schmidt Sciences recognises the opportunities and destabilising effects of AI in all areas of scientific research. Drawing on Schmidt Sciences’s experiences and portfolio of support across AI and Advanced Computing, Astrophysics and Space, Biosciences, Climate, and Science Systems, this talk explores how AI is accelerating discovery, reshaping scientific practice, and changing what it means to be a working scientist.
