Artificial Intelligence for Materials

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods to materials research and development (MR&D) is poised to radically reshape how materials are discovered, designed, and deployed into manufactured products. Materials underpin modern life, and advances in this space have the potential to markedly increase the quality of human life, address pressing environmental issues, and provide new, enabling, technologies that can help people realize their potential.

This chapter delves into the many ways that AI is currently being applied to accelerate MR&D, the implications of this revolution, and the new frontiers that are now being opened for exploration.
