AIAS 2025

The Chen Institute Symposium for AI Accelerated Science, organized in partnership by the Chen Institute and UC Berkeley College of Computing Data, Science, and Society, is an annual event dedicated to exploring groundbreaking advancements in AI that are reshaping scientific discovery across disciplines. Each year, leading researchers, industry innovators, and influential thought leaders gather to discuss how cutting-edge AI methodologies—such as foundational models, long-term memory mechanisms, synthetic data generation, and research process automation—are revolutionizing the scientific landscape.

The symposium features plenary lectures, interactive breakout sessions, and in-depth discussions focused on emerging AI breakthroughs and their transformative impact on fields including medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering.

The event culminates in the prestigious Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute and Science Prize for AI Accelerated Research Award Ceremony. This prize honors exceptional early-career scientists whose empirical discoveries in the physical or life sciences were made possible through the innovative use of AI techniques.
