@ Private Industry Guest Speaker, Ohio

Abstract

In this talk, we navigate the confluence of AI and materials science, addressing the transformative role of data. We begin by dissecting AI, elucidating its functionality and untapped potential for revolutionizing the way we approach materials science, especially within the rubber industry.

We emphasize the significance of an 'Ever-Evolving Expert System' - a continuously adaptive AI system. Acting as a dynamic repository of knowledge, it augments human capabilities and consolidates wisdom from diverse data sources.

This discussion aims to highlight the synergies between AI and materials science, promoting a future where the physical world and digital innovation coalesce seamlessly. From atoms to algorithms, we are on the precipice of a new era in materials science.
