CERN unveils AI strategy to advance research and operations
AI is now a strategic imperative at CERN, reshaping research methodologies, decision-making, and future high-energy physics projects.
CERN has approved a comprehensive AI strategy to guide its use across research, operations, and administration. The strategy unites initiatives under a coherent framework to promote responsible and impactful AI for science and operational excellence.
It focuses on four main goals: accelerating scientific discovery, improving productivity and reliability, attracting and developing talent, and enabling AI at scale through strategic partnerships with industry and member states.
Common tools and shared experiences across sectors will strengthen CERN’s community and ensure effective deployment.
Implementation will involve prioritised plans and collaboration with EU programmes, industry, and member states to build capacity, secure funding, and expand infrastructure. Applications of AI will support high-energy physics experiments, future accelerators, detectors, and data-driven decision-making.
AI is now central to CERN’s mission, transforming research methodologies and operations. From intelligent automation to scalable computational insight, the technology is no longer optional but a strategic imperative for the organisation.
