A Beijing research institute pairing first-principles physics with machine learning to build AI for Science infrastructure for chemistry and biology.
The AI for Science Institute (北京科学智能研究院, AISI) is an independent research institute in Beijing, founded in 2021 by mathematician Weinan E. Its mission is to advance the frontiers of science by integrating first-principles physical modeling with state-of-the-art machine learning, with research spanning molecular simulation, materials, life sciences, and proteomics.
