Experts will separate hype from reality, spotlighting where AI is already enabling genuine breakthroughs and where its limits and risks remain.

Centered on the essential role of scientists in this new era, the conference will explore both near-term advances and future possibilities, along with the unique challenges of applying AI in scientific work. Above all, it focuses on elevating human understanding: what people understand, not what AI understands.

This conference is ideal for scientists, engineers, and research leaders across academia, industry, and government who want a clear, interdisciplinary view of where AI is genuinely accelerating discovery, and what it means for scientific practice.

This year's conference will feature keynotes, panel discussions, and opportunities to connect with peers. Watch this space for more details regarding agenda and speaker lineup as we approach the event date.
