Today, Berkeley Lab hosted about 200 scientists as part of the first-ever 1,000 Scientist AI Jam, a pioneering event spanning multiple U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories. Participants explored how cutting-edge AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic could accelerate breakthroughs in scientific discovery and national security. Berkeley Lab joined eight other DOE Labs—including Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL)—to host 1,500 of the nation’s top scientists for this effort to explore AI’s ability to automate experiments, refine theories, assist with coding, and more. This collaboration between industry and DOE’s National Laboratories has the potential to unlock a new era of scientific discovery. And we’re just beginning!
