Abstract
Google is committed to the digital future of Australia and as part of its wide ranging efforts to equip Australian researchers with the tools that they need to do transformative work, we have launched a new initiative that seeks to expand the beneficial impact of AI in Science. Working closely with our partner CSIRO, this partnership seeks to empower Australian research with AI and specifically focuses on 3 goals :
Equipping researchers with the latest tools: Google is investing in and collaborating closely with CSIRO. This initiative aims to develop advanced AI platforms and tools that will empower Australian scientists to tackle complex research questions with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy. We also want to make sure that local researchers know how to make full use of existing Google tools – like Kaggle, one of the world’s largest data science communities or Google Earth Engine, a planetary scale earth science analysis platform.
Inspiring Australia’s interest in AI: We are committed to fostering a national dialogue about AI’s potential in scientific discovery. Through events, workshops, and outreach programs, we aim to inspire researchers, policymakers, and the public alike, showcasing how AI can help in fields ranging from healthcare to environmental conservation.
Developing a strong AI research community: We will invest in developing and nurturing a vibrant community of Australian scientists who are actively embracing AI in their work. This will facilitate knowledge sharing, accelerate learning, and establish best practices for AI integration across diverse scientific disciplines.
This will be an interactive session to seek inputs from Australian researchers on challenges and opportunities in driving greater adoption of AI for Science.
