Abstract
The materials challenge we're facing today, from advanced logic and memory to next-gen packaging, need solutions faster than ever before. At the same time, AI systems are evolving beyond pattern recognition to become active collaborators in scientific discovery. In this talk, I'll share how AI is starting to reshape the entire materials discovery process: helping us form better hypotheses from massive datasets, pointing us toward the right experiments, making simulations larger and faster, and connecting automated labs into reproducible workflows. Through concrete examples and lessons from the field, we'll explore what this means for organizations trying to innovate faster while keeping human insight and accountability at the center of the work.
