Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its daughter, Machine Learning (ML), are having a massive impact in all forms of human endeavour, and Science as a whole, and Materials Science in particular, are not immune to this new technological revolution. In this talk I will argue that Materials Science stands to benefit enormously by embracing AI & ML as new research tools. In passing, I will present a brief introduction to ML, describing some key concepts and illustrating some of its possible uses with examples taken from recent work carried out at ICMM. I will also introduce the AI-Lab ICMM, a strategic transversal initiative at ICMM, and describe its aims and activities.
