The AI Race for new Materials

In this episode, we dive into the rapidly evolving world of AI-driven material discovery with Victor Schmidt, tracing his journey from research at Mila in Montreal to launching a cutting-edge startup in Paris, Entalpic. We explore how generative models and graph neural networks are reshaping the way we discover new materials, with a focus on environmental impact and sustainable industry. I discuss the challenges of bridging domain expertise with machine learning and how 'research as a service' is opening new doors for industrial innovation. Paris emerges as a vibrant AI hub, and we uncover what makes its ecosystem unique for startups and researchers alike. If you're curious about the intersection of AI, chemistry, and entrepreneurship, this conversation is packed with insights and forward-looking ideas.
