Anthropic launches a program to support scientific research


Anthropic is launching an AI for Science program to support researchers working on 'high-impact' scientific projects.

“Advanced AI reasoning and language capabilities can help researchers analyze complex scientific data, generate hypotheses, design experiments, and communicate findings more effectively,” Anthropic wrote in a blog post. AI might come in handy in areas where broad exploration is needed, like narrowing down a vast list of possibilities, but it’s less clear whether it can do the kind of out-of-the-box problem-solving that leads to bonafide breakthroughs. BOOK NOW The company says that it’ll make selections for its AI for Science program on the first Monday of each month based on scientific merit, potential impact, technical feasibility, and biosecurity screening criteria (i.e. ensuring proposed research couldn’t enable harmful applications).
