Artificial intelligence is reshaping science, the tech industry, and human capital, as well as disrupting national security. To leverage rapid advances in AI, the United States must invest in research, supercomputing, data management, and an expert workforce. We’re in a pivotal race to gain advantage.
See how Los Alamos is establishing a framework that could guide national AI efforts in our AI Factsheet (pdf).
Artificial Intelligence holds the promise of qualitatively strengthening the laboratory's support for the nation. With its deep computing and AI capabilities and central role in national security, the Laboratory is uniquely positioned to utilize and benefit from this cutting edge technology.
The Laboratory has the supercomputers, algorithms, unmatched trove of big data and skilled scientific workforce needed to make sense of the AI revolution, its implications, and its utilization for scientific discovery and national security.
Coming to grips with frontier AI will depend on close partnerships with the private sector. Los Alamos has collaborated with industry for many years to develop technologies that meet social needs while bolstering national security. The Lab is expanding these collaborations to include analyzing AI’s opportunities, unintended consequences, and threats. Labs like Los Alamos exist precisely for this kind of national initiative.
