AI in Research & Development

A hands-on course to supercharge your R&D. Learn to use AI to predict molecular behavior, sidestep 'Eroom's Law', and automate patent searches to make breakthroughs faster than ever before.

Program Description

Research and development thrive on efficiency and innovation, and AI is reshaping both. This course highlights how AI can predict molecular behaviors, streamline testing cycles, and reduce the cost of exploration across scientific domains. The discussion includes how AI counters "Eroom's Law," where development becomes slower and more expensive over time, by driving faster, more accurate breakthroughs. Participants also see how AI automates patent searches, synthesizes existing literature, and supports funding applications. The course presents AI as a force multiplier for innovation, helping to remove bottlenecks and create space for bold experimentation.
