Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 27th. In order to implement the national "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan", the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Natural Science Foundation of China have recently launched a special deployment of "Artificial Intelligence-Driven Scientific Research" (AI for Science), closely integrating Key issues in basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and astronomy are developed around the scientific research needs of key fields such as drug research and development, gene research, biological breeding, and new material research and development, and a cutting-edge technology research and development system of "artificial intelligence-driven scientific research" is deployed.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology stated that at present, "artificial intelligence-driven scientific research" has become a new frontier of global artificial intelligence. my country has a good foundation in artificial intelligence technology, scientific research data, and computing power resources, and needs to further strengthen system layout and overall guidance to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and scientific research, promote the openness and convergence of resources, and enhance related innovation capabilities.

"Artificial intelligence-driven scientific research" is the product of the deep integration of "artificial intelligence technology represented by machine learning" and "scientific research". E Weinan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the International Machine Learning Research Center of Peking University, said that with the help of machine learning's ability to express high-dimensional problems, humans can describe the mechanism of complex systems in a more realistic and detailed manner, and at the same time, they can use basic principles in a more efficient and more efficient manner. A practical approach is applied to solving real problems.

Science and Technology Innovation 2030-"New Generation Artificial Intelligence" Major Project Implementation Expert Group Leader Xu Bo, Director of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced that artificial intelligence technology has demonstrated powerful capabilities beyond traditional mathematical or physical methods in many scientific research fields. However, there is still room for improvement in the systematic layout of "artificial intelligence-driven scientific research", major system design, interdisciplinary integration, and innovation ecological construction.

The Ministry of Science and Technology will promote the innovation of artificial intelligence models and algorithms for major scientific issues, develop a number of "artificial intelligence-driven scientific research" dedicated platforms for typical scientific research fields, and accelerate the construction of a new generation of national artificial intelligence public computing power open innovation platform, Support the heterogeneous integration and development of high-performance computing centers and intelligent computing centers, encourage green energy and low-carbonization, promote the upgrading of software and hardware computing technology, and encourage various scientific research entities to open scientific data according to the principle of classification and classification.

In terms of talents and mechanisms, the Ministry of Science and Technology supports more scientists and researchers in the fields of mathematics and physics to devote themselves to relevant research, cultivates and brings together interdisciplinary R&D teams, promotes the establishment of an "artificial intelligence-driven scientific research" innovation consortium, and builds an international An academic exchange platform to jointly promote solutions to common scientific challenges for mankind, such as cancer diagnosis and treatment, and the response to the climate crisis. At the same time, attach importance to scientific research ethics in the development process of "artificial intelligence-driven scientific research" and promote its healthy and sustainable development.

In the next step, the Ministry of Science and Technology will give full play to the coordinating role of the next-generation artificial intelligence planning promotion office, integrate resources such as projects, platforms, and talents, and form a joint policy force for advancement. Give full play to the permeable, diffuse, and subversive characteristics of artificial intelligence, gradually build a new model that uses artificial intelligence to support basic and cutting-edge scientific research, and accelerate the transformation of my country's scientific research paradigm and the improvement of capabilities.
