Motivation
In three years of operation at AIfSR, we have learned that there is a need for greater awareness of the potential that AI can offer to scientific research. AI practitioners should recognize the immense amount of unique datasets and tasks available to them. Scientists need access to a larger number of specialists trained to apply AI methodologies specifically to scientific tasks. It is time to bring together education, science, and industry in NYC
