The Center for AI @PNNL is driving a research agenda that explores the foundations and emerging frontiers of AI, combining capability development and application to mission areas in science, security and energy resilience. The Center includes pillars in fundamental research, applied and trustworthy AI to operations, and access to workforce development and world-class infrastructure (to include state-of-the-art AI models, data, and hardware). The Center plays a pivotal role in coordinating institutional AI partnerships and outreach, integration, and communications, making PNNL the go-to Laboratory for AI science, security, and engineering.

Core Activities

  • Advance the state-of-the-art in AI through research and capability development
  • Foster a mission-capable AI workforce and enable exceptional AI talent acquisition
  • Support and advise project AI implementations via provisioning, infrastructure access, and project governance
  • Coordinate institutional AI partnerships and outreach, visibility, internal integration, and communications to ensure PNNL is a go-to Laboratory for AI science, security, and engineering
