AI for Frontier & Meta Science Workshop

AI is starting to generate hypotheses, design experiments, and automate science, from designing molecules to mapping the brain. Breakthroughs that once took decades of manual effort are now aided by frontier models that can search vast solution spaces, simulate complex systems, and identify patterns no human could. Yet much of science still runs on slow, siloed infrastructure that wasn’t built for AI-native discovery.

This workshop gathers a select group of researchers, engineers, and funders at the frontier of AI-first science to unhobble our engines of discovery, translation and progress.

Focus Areas

Participants will collaborate across three interconnected domains:

  1. AI for Neuro AI, BCIs & Whole-Brain Emulation Using frontier models to simulate and understand biological intelligence, building hybrids between human and artificial cognition, from brain-computer interfaces to whole-brain emulations. What can neuro learn from AI and AI learn from neuro?

  2. AI for Longevity Bio & Molecular Nano Science Using frontier models to make progress on scientific frontiers in longevity, such as organ replacement and biostasis, or molecular nanotechnology, such as the simulation and construction of functional nanomachines.

  3. AI for Better Scientific & Epistemic Infrastructure In addition to applying AI to individual scientific domains, we need better platforms, tools, and data infrastructures to accelerate AI-guided scientific progress and build with risks in mind.

Speakers include:

  • Sonia Arrison, 100 Plus Capital

  • Tom Oxley, Synchron

  • Martin Borch Jensen, Gordian

  • Dileep George, Astera Institute

  • Sam Rodriques, FutureHouse

  • Molly He, Element Biosciences

  • Nabiha Saklayen, Cellino

  • Mikhail Shapiro, Caltech

  • Eli Dourado, Astera Institute

  • Sean Escola, Protocol Labs

  • Alex Teng, 50 Years

  • Angelica Parente, Civilization Ventures

  • Becca Carlson, Deliverome Bio

  • Benjamin Reinhardt, Speculative Technologies

  • Vivek Natarajan, Google DeepMind

This workshop is part of our AI Node program in the Bay Area. Participants can stay and sprint at the SF Node for a few weeks afterward to keep building in community.
