Summary
The need for materials with improved or new properties is often at the heart of the challenges society faces. Despite massive expansion in experimental capabilities and data, knowledge- and data-centric challenges prevent prediction-driven materials discovery. The NSF AI Materials Institute (AI-MI) aims to propel foundational AI research past the limitations of existing AI algorithms by pursuing materials discovery and conquering knowledge- and data-centric challenges. AI-MI will advance the foundations of artificial intelligence while accelerating the discovery of next-generation materials es
