The great challenges of the 21st century are becoming more urgent. From climate change + renewable energy to antibiotic resistance, we need solutions. Learn from @UofT President Meric Gertler about what the AC is doing to get us there faster @uoftmagazine bit.ly/4005RJt
The AC is trying to consider the implication of AI and accelerated discovery at the start of the discovery process rather than the end.
What does an ethical accelerated discovery workflow look like?
Next up at #accelerate23: A session on the #ethical implications of self-driving labs and the concept of "ethical substance" ft. M. Murphy, Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed, Kristen Bos + Zoë Wool. Check out our full program: accelerate23.ca/program
