Introduced by Conner Prochaska, Chief Commercialization Officer, U.S. Department of Energy This panel highlights the breadth of research in AI across the national laboratory complex and discusses how this research fits into the recently announced National AI Initiative; several notable collaborations in AI between companies and national labs are discussed. Applications of AI to solving core problems in energy grid optimization are discussed. In particular, AI approaches to energy grid security, flexibility, and reliability in light of future energy demands are highlighted. Panel participants include representatives from major utilities. State of applications of AI to transformative problems in drug discovery are discussed; ATOM Partnership is highlighted; future opportunities across disease areas are discussed with participants from life sciences companies.

American leadership in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is critical to driving innovation and maintaining our nation's economic competitiveness. Today, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories house four of the ten fastest and most powerful supercomputers in the world, uniquely positioning DOE to redefine what is possible in AI. DOE established its Artificial Intelligence Program (DOE AI) to harness and accelerate the Department's world-class leadership in high-performance computing, facilities, and team science in applying AI across the entire National Laboratory system to increase the pace of discovery in energy, materials science, health care, transportation, and beyond. InnovationXLab: Artificial Intelligence, hosted by Argonne National Laboratory, is the fourth in DOE's InnovationXLab series: a showcase of the remarkable assets and capabilities of the Department's National Laboratories. These summits facilitate a two-way exchange of information and ideas between industry, universities, investors, and end-use customers with Lab innovators and experts.
