@HPCpodcast with Shahin Khan and Doug Black

We continue our discussion of AI in Science with Rick Stevens of Argonne National Lab. In addition to the new ways AI can help advance science, we also discuss ethics, bias, robustness, security,and explainability of AI, and whether AI can replace scientists. We end with a snapshot of Quantum Information Science (QIS). [audio mp3="http://orionx.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/016@HPCpodcast_AI-in-S...

A special 2-episode discussion of AI in Science with Rick Stevens , Associate Laboratory Director and leader of Exascale Computing Initiative at Argonne National Laboratory and Professor at University of Chicago.

TOP500 at SC21 was highly anticipated but failed to ignite. Rumored high-end systems opted not to play while entering the conversation anyway.  However, the list is about more than the TOP10 or whether there are systems that should be there and those that should not. Looking at the whole list, we saw a few surprises. [audio mp3="http://orionx.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/002@HPCpodcast_TOP500_20...
