Artificial Intelligence Research Associate (AIRA)
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is announcing a new Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIE) Opportunity that is focused on elevating Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the role of an insightful and trusted collaborator in scientific discovery and the scientific process. This AIE Opportunity announces the Artificial Intelligence Research Associate (AIRA) program, and invites submissions of innovative basic research proposals to address two main objectives: 1) explore and develop novel new AI algorithms and approaches for discovery of scientific laws and governing equations for complex physical phenomena; 2) explore new approaches to assess where data are too sparse, noisy, or are otherwise inadequate to build predictive models; to generate testable hypotheses; to identify high value experiments that could alleviate the problems of data shortfalls; and to quantify the confidence of predictions outside of the training space.
