InnovationXLab Artificial Intelligence Summit
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.
The Summit convenes industry leaders at The Drake Hotel in Chicago from the energy, transportation, manufacturing, and health care sectors, public officials, and researchers from the Department of Energy’s National Laboratories, to discuss how advanced artificial intelligence tools and techniques can support business transformation and drive economic growth.
