The partnership will also seek to determine which scientific disciplines are likely to benefit most from the technology.
Duke is one of 15 universities that has joined OpenAI’s NextGenAI consortium to advance research and education with AI. Each university in the partnership – including Harvard, MIT, Oxford, the University of Michigan, Howard and the California State University System – will focus on using AI to solve specific problems.
OpenAI develops artificial intelligence models and known for its generative AI technologies including ChatGPT.
Duke and OpenAI are launching what’s believed to be the first AI metascience research program, while also identifying the fields where AI can have the greatest impact and exploring new models for collaboration on AI between public and private sectors.
Sanford School professor David Hoffman and Fuqua professor Ronnie Chatterji will lead the initiative called Deep Tech at Duke. Chatterji was named chief economist at OpenAI in October.
Situated in the Sanford School, the interdisciplinary effort will bridge research, industry and policy to advance research and collaboration involving semiconductors, artificial intelligence quantum computing, climate finance and cybersecurity.
The Duke-OpenAI partnership will develop high-level forecasts of the economic benefits that will come from more fully incorporating AI into scientific research. This ranges from the productivity gains that will emerge as researchers do lab work more quickly to the GDP growth that will be fueled by new innovations and discoveries.“Artificial intelligence tools have the potential to drive significant innovative solutions to large social problems through advancing science. Duke is a leader in the study of both the technical and public policy advances that will help realize that potential,” said Hoffman, a professor of the practice at Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy and managing director of Deep […]
