Machine Scientist 2.2 system released in Hefei, "AI Creation" presses the accelerator button

China News Service, Hefei, October 18 (Reporter Zhang Jun) The fourth annual meeting of the Ecological Alliance of Intelligent Scientists was held in Hefei, Anhui Province on the 18th. At the meeting, the Machine Scientist 2.2 system was officially released.

According to Jiang Jun, director of the Scientific Intelligent Material Creation Center at the University of Science and Technology of China, artificial intelligence empowering scientific research is the core direction of the current scientific research paradigm innovation, and the Machine Scientist 2.2 system is a new generation of intelligent material science infrastructure. This system combines the "bold hypothesis" of large models, the "careful verification" of small models, and the precise experiments of scientific research robots, forming the ability to independently create new substances and discover new knowledge, and provide new tools for scientific research.

"We hope to condense the many years of experience of scientists into callable skills, so that more R&D teams can stand on the shoulders of scientists." Jiang Jun said that the Machine Scientist 2.2 system has integrated 110 advanced scientific research robots, 196 intelligent chemical workstations, 508 scientific research robot instruction sets, 3,200 chemical experiment templates, and 310 scientific intelligent models. It has been applied in biomedicine, green agriculture, new energy, aerospace exploration and other fields.

At the meeting, the University of Science and Technology of China Education Foundation released a special scholarship fund for scientific and intelligent talents, providing more than 5 million yuan every year to support talents in the field of intelligent material creation.

In order to turn the "samples" in the laboratory into "products" that can be promoted and applied, the Lingjing Creation Investment Fund was simultaneously established at the meeting, with an initial scale of 300 million yuan. (over)
