On November 2024, the first symposium in a series of events on ‘Critical use of AI in Chemistry’ will take place at University of Fribourg. The focus of this first event is on the use of AI in Quantum Chemistry. The rapid progress of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming nearly every facet of our society and scientific research, with Quantum Chemistry not being an exception. AI transforms this field, rapidly impacting molecular and material simulations at various scales. A critical examination of Al applications in Quantum Chemistry is essential to discern areas where Al can significantly contribute and identify realms where current Al approaches fall short. The conference will explore AI’s dual role in advancing Quantum Chemistry by enhancing developments and accelerating quantum chemistry through AI surrogate models replicating its methods.
