The U.S. Department of Energy has unveiled its road-map for the Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence for Science, Security, and Technology (FASST) initiative to help harness AI for the public good.
Through FASST, the Department of Energy and its 17 national laboratories aim to build the world’s most powerful integrated scientific AI systems for science, energy, and national security, in collaboration with academic and industry partners.
FASST will transform the vast repositories of scientific data produced at DOE user facilities to be AI-ready and build the next-generation of highly energy efficient AI supercomputers.
This national AI capability will allow U.S. researchers, including the 40,000 scientists at the national labs, to develop trustworthy foundation AI models to realize breakthroughs in a variety of scientific and energy applications.
From discovering new battery materials, to deploying smart grid infrastructure, to even realizing breakthroughs in fusion, AI can help accelerate scientific discoveries and enable new, affordable, clean energy technologies. These capabilities will also be leveraged to provide insight into properties of AI systems at scale and promote safety, security, trustworthiness, and privacy, the Department of Energy said in a press release.
