Scope

We are currently witnessing a broad adoption of methods from artificial intelligence across many disciplines of exact and applied sciences. These new approaches, which are based on probabilistic data analysis or implicit knowledge representations, challenge and transform traditional scientific practice in fields ranging from physics via chemistry and biology all the way to geography and robotics.

The aim of this interdisciplinary symposium is to discuss how the core of scientific practice might be revolutionised through the adoption of these new methods. Through talks of a small number of distinguished researchers in each field and a public discussion session with members of the scientific community and representatives from the industry we hope to set a common ground for the future of AI methods in the sciences.
