This document provides an overview of where and how artificial intelligence (AI) is used in materials science. It discusses several key areas:
1) Hypothesis generation using archival data and machine learning to predict new materials.
2) Data acquisition, cleaning, and feature identification using AI techniques like denoising and artifact removal from experimental data.
3) Knowledge extraction from large datasets using unsupervised learning methods like non-negative matrix factorization to identify materials phases.
4) Closing the materials discovery loop with demonstrations of autonomous materials research systems that integrate computation, autonomous synthesis and characterization using AI.
