Pritzker AI+Science 2025 Conference

The University of Chicago and the California Institute of Technology are centers of gravity for the study, application, and use of AI and Machine Learning to enable scientific discovery across the physical and biological sciences, advancing core AI principles and training a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists. To both advance this scientific and technical pursuit and demonstrate the leadership of UChicago and Caltech in this space, we will host the AI4Science Conference 2025, Sponsored by the Margot and Tom Pritzker Foundation, at Caltech from November 10-11, 2025. This event will bring together an elite and diverse cohort of leading researchers in core AI and domain sciences to lead conversations and drive partnerships that will shape future inquiry, industry investment, and entrepreneurial opportunities.

To be announced

Continuing a collaboration catalyzed by generous support from the Margot and Tom Pritzker Foundation, the University of Chicago and Caltech will advance the integration of AI into scientific research and development.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing many aspects of our lives, from predicting economic trends to estimating wildfire risk during fire season to powering new advances in personalized medicine. But perhaps most important for researchers is the way in which AI is changing the nature and pace of scientific discovery. Rebecca Willett, faculty director of AI at the University of Chicago's Data Science Institute (DSI), and Anima Anandkumar, the Bren Professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech, are leading a major initiative to bring AI to bear on questions of scientific inquiry.

DSI and Caltech are centers of gravity for the study, application, and use of AI and machine learning (ML). By combining efforts, and with renewed support from the Margot and Tom Pritzker Foundation, the two institutions aim to accelerate the pace of discovery across the physical and biological sciences by advancing the integration of AI into scientific research and development and training new generations of interdisciplinary scientists.

In 2023, Willett and Anandkumar collaborated to create and host the inaugural University of Chicago and Caltech Conference on AI+Science, which was held in Chicago and sponsored by the Margot and Tom Pritzker Foundation. Now, a generous new gift from the Margot and Tom Pritzker Foundation will fund and expand the joint conference for an additional three years.
