PNNL

AI for Good: Connecting Science, AI, and Community

Join Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for an exciting free event showcasing how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used for good. Whether you're an educator, nonprofit professional, entrepreneur, industry partner, or simply curious about AI’s potential—there's something here for you.

In honor of PNNL’s 60th anniversary, we’re celebrating decades of impact with this special, no cost event. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore, learn, and connect with experts shaping the future of AI.

This event will occur on September 19 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. PDT at the Washington State University Tri-Cities campus.

See more details on the AI for Good event page. 

Partnering with the Department of Energy AI Initiative

The Department of Energy proposes the AI initiative to harness artificial intelligence (AI) for scientific discovery, address energy challenges, advance national security, attract and build a talented workforce, and develop technical expertise necessary for AI governance. Visit the web page, download the fact sheet, and watch the AI at DOE video.

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
