In the first segment of this video, Anima Anandkumar, the Bren Professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, talks about the promise artificial intelligence (AI) holds to solve some of the most difficult scientific problems. A computer scientist and a leader in AI research, Anandkumar develops innovative AI methods that enable and accelerate progress in a wide range interdisciplinary scientific domains, including weather forecasting, autonomous drone flight, scientific simulations, disease modeling, chemistry, and the social sciences. In the second segment, David Van Valen, assistant professor of biology and biological engineering and an investigator with the Heritage Medical Research Institute, discusses his goal of building AI tools that can autonomously navigate and take “movies” of biological systems much in the way self-driving vehicles use cameras to sense their environments. This research could lead to new therapies that reprogram the immune system to fight cancer cells. By leveraging advances in imaging, machine learning, and genomics, Van Valen’s overall aim is to understand how viruses access information about their hosts and how this information fl
