A few days ago the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) issued an important report the President titled "Supercharging Research: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence to Meet Global Challenges" which looks broadly at ways in which AI and Machine Learning technologies will reshape research and development, including a number of case studies. One of the fascinating themes here is the ways in which human researchers and Ai based tools will work together. The report can be found at

Also of interest here is the recording of an April 23, 2024 public meeting of PCAST to discuss this report and vote on its adoption. See

Closely related to this, the National Academies has recently published the report from the Symposium on AI and Scientific Discovery that it convened October 11-12, 2023; I shared links to video recordings from this Symposium earlier. See

There will be a report release event  (webcast  and in person) on May 13; for information on this and to register, see

As a reminder, links to the video of the Symposium can be found at
