DOE Invests $320 Million in AI Science Projects

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is investing $320 million into 217 projects to advance artificial intelligence in science ^[1][2]. Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil announced the funding to help accelerate scientific discovery ^[1]. These projects will cover a wide range of research areas across the country to maintain technical leadership ^[3]. The initiative includes the creation of a new "AI for Transformative Science" subcommittee ^[1]. This group will design a 10-year roadmap to guide future federal investments ^[2]. Additionally, the DOE plans to develop the American Science Cloud to provide the infrastructure needed for high-speed data analysis ^[1].
