ExSAIS: Workshop on Extreme Scaling of AI for Science Message from the workshop chairs.

ExSAIS: Workshop on Extreme Scaling of AI for Science, brings together researchers in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High Performance Computing (HPC) to enable scientific discovery at scale. The evolution of machine perception to machine learning and reasoning, and ultimately machine intelligence, has a potential to significantly impact acceleration and advancement of autonomous scientific discovery and the operation of scientific instruments. While machine reasoning will enable intelligent systems to better understand and interact with their physical world, machine intelligence through modeling, simulation and automation, closes the gap between experiments, extreme computing, and scientific discovery. In order to usher in this new era of autonomous science, advances in several areas of artificial intelligence and other disciplines e.g., high-performance computing, data engineering need to come together.
