Ross King | Professor
University Of Cambridge
Ross D. King has joint positions at the University of Cambridge (Biotechnology), and is Professor of Machine Intelligence at Chalmers Institute of Technology, Sweden. His main research interest is AI for science. He originated the idea of a ‘Robot Scientist’ (aka self-driving lab): integrating AI and laboratory robotics to physically implement closed-loop scientific discovery. His Robot Scientist ‘Adam’ was the first machine to autonomously discover scientific knowledge. ‘Eve’ is currently searching for drugs against neglected tropical diseases. He is building 'Genesis' a Robot Scientist designed to automate eukaryotic systems biology. He is a founder of the Nobel Turing Challenge: to build a machine able to do Nobel prize quality scientific research autonomously.

Day 2: 7th May @ 10:00
Building British AI Infrastructure through Policy
AI for Science has focussed on computational aspects of science and has neglected the lab. A Robot Scientist (AI scientist, self-driving lab) is a physical lab system that applies AI to execute cycles of automated research. Europe/UK has lost the race for AI (LLMs) to big Tech, but it has not yet lost the race for AI for Science: we have the laboratory infrastructure and automation industry, they don't - yet. This session will look at research on automating science, and to alert the EU/UK governments to the need to compete in AI for Science by funding large-scale laboratory automation infrastructure.GET INVOLVED
