DESCRIPTION:I would like to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence a
 nd self-driving lab on the practice of research & development\, in particu
 lar\, clean energy research. ["Autonomous experiments using active learnin
 g and AI\," Nature Reviews Materials 8 (2023) 563­564\; "A multimodal rob
 otic platform for multi-element electrocatalyst discovery\," Nature 647 (2
 025) 390-396]   Rapid growth in modeling\, experiment and reasoning capabi
 lities\, such as universal neural network interatomic potential (UNIP)\, l
 arge language model based hypothesis generation\, robotic high-throughput 
 experimentation\, and knowledge-based Bayesian optimization\, could usher 
 in an era of “mass production of science”\, but plenty of challenges a
 nd peril lie ahead. \n\n \n\nBio:\nJu Li has held faculty positions at the
  Ohio State University\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and is presently
  a chaired professor at MIT.  His group (http://Li.mit.edu) investigates t
 he mechanical\, electrochemical and transport behaviors of materials as  w
 ell as novel means of energy storage and conversion. Ju is a recipient of 
 the 2005 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers\, th
 e 2006 Materials Research Society Outstanding Young Investigator Award\, a
 nd the TR35 award fromTechnological Review. He was elected Fellow of the A
 merican Physical Society in 2014\, a Fellow of the Materials Research Soci
 etyin 2017 and a Fellow of AAAS in 2020. Li is the chief organizer of MIT 
 A+B Applied Energy Symposia that aim to develop solutions to global climat
 e change challenges with “A-Action before 2040” and “B-Beyond 2040
 ” technologies (www.youtube.com/@mitab3889">https://www.youtube.com/@mit
