UC awards $18 million to scale up the ambition and impact of AI in science
The University of California has awarded $18 million in multicampus research grants, in partnership with UC-managed national laboratories, to advance the frontiers of artificial intelligence in areas of strategic importance and technological innovation.
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Science at Scale initiative provides three grants of $6 million over three years to develop new AI approaches in genomics, quantum materials discovery and geothermal energy. The winning teams are composed of UC faculty across a wide range of disciplines, representing nearly every UC campus. This research is funded by fee income the university receives for managing the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories.
