Description
The official launch of the EPSRC Funded Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence for Automated Investigations for Scientific Discovery (AI3SD) Network+ www.ai3sd.org will take place on Wednesday 5th December in South West London at the Society of Chemical Industry, situated in the picturesque Belgrave Square just South West of Hyde Park Corner.
Our network aims to bring together dedicated researchers looking to show how cutting edge artificial and augmented intelligence technologies can be used to push the boundaries of scientific discovery. We are looking to involve and collaborate with academics, commercial organizations and government officials. Everyone will be welcome to gain a deeper insight into the grand plans of our network, and to ask questions and engage in debate about the research area the network aims to address, and the future plans of the network.
This launch event will set the scene for the events that our Network will be organizing over the next three years, including networking activities, conferences, workshops, hackathons, funding opportunities for pilot projects and feasibility studies, and incubator secondments.
Keynote Speakers
Our speakers will be giving thought provoking talks on a number of topics that are highly pertinent to the Network, ranging from machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques in science, to the philsophy of science, and the difficulties of procuring data for AI.

FAQs
1. Who should attend?
Anyone with an interest in Artificial Intelligence, Augemented Intelligence, Automated Investigations, Machine Learning, Scientific Discovery, Materials Discovery, and the Philosophical and Ethical Implications of Artificial Intelligence. We welcome members from academia, industry and government, and are hoping to build a broad Network+ with a wealth of experience in the relevant subject areas so that we can form interdiscplinary partnerships and work together to futher the field of scientific discovery using AI techniques.
2. What will I get out of it?
You will be able to network with likeminded people who have research interests that complement yours. You will find out about our Network+ and the opportunities we have available including funding opportunities, the types of events we will be running (e.g. workshops, conferences and hackathons).
