Our approach has always been to question fundamental assumptions, frame problems at as deep a level as possible, and develop novel theoretical and methodological foundations that push the boundaries of new disciplines. The rise of AI in science and engineering presents both a remarkable opportunity and a profound challenge to human-centered modes of inquiry. Beyond training scientists to effectively use existing AI tools, the University's vision of accelerating AI and STEM research includes an interdisciplinary and systematic reimagination of the role of AI in the scientific discovery process. The Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship, a program of Schmidt Futures, will synergize with and benefit from the major..
