MICDE Nobel Prize Lectures
AI for Science <=> Science for AI
The 2024 Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry spotlight the reciprocal influence between artificial intelligence and the natural sciences. This MICDE special event examines the science and scientists recognized for foundational advances in neural networks that underpin modern machine learning (Physics), and for AI-enabled breakthroughs in protein structure prediction and computational protein design (Chemistry). The lectures will be followed by a moderated panel and an open, cross-disciplinary discussion.
