US Department of Energy Announced $30 Million for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Research

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a plan to provide up to $30 million for advanced research in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for both scientific investigation and the management of complex systems. Applications will be open to DOE national laboratories, universities, nonprofits, and industry.

The initiative encompasses two separate topic areas. One topic is focused on the development of ML and AI for predictive modeling and simulation focused on research across the physical sciences.  ML and AI are thought to offer promising new alternatives to traditional programming methods for computer modeling and simulation. A second topic is focused on basic ML and AI research for “decision support” in managing complex systems. Potential eventual applications could include cybersecurity, power grid resilience, and other complex processes where ML and AI can make or aid in making decisions in real time.
