AI in science: the promise, perils and path forward – AI and our environment

 

Curious about how artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world around us?

Join the Australian Academy of Science in 2025 for ‘AI in science: the promise, perils and path forward’ to explore the current and future implications of AI.

Discover how AI is helping scientists make breakthroughs in health and medicine, climate research, agriculture and food production, space exploration and more. The series will also delve into potential risks, limitations and ethical issues as AI becomes increasingly prominent in science and our society.

The six events in our public speaker series across 2025 will be a mix of panel discussions and presentations, and will feature a range of speakers from science, technology, social science, industry and government. Audiences, both in person and online, will have the opportunity to engage with speakers in the Q&A sessions at each event.

This event is the third in the series, and will be held on Tuesday 10 June. Speakers for this event will be announced soon.
