BCG X, the tech build and design unit of Boston Consulting Group (BCG), has unveiled the AI Science Institute, a new initiative aimed at revolutionizing scientific research through the power of artificial intelligence. The launch marks a strategic effort to assist organizations in transforming traditional scientific workflows by embedding AI into every phase of discovery and innovation.
The AI Science Institute brings together a cross-disciplinary team of AI experts, engineers, and scientists to help companies fast-track breakthroughs in sectors ranging from healthcare and life sciences to energy and climate technology. The Institute’s mission is to bridge the gap between experimental science and real-world impact by accelerating time-to-insight and improving decision-making in complex research environments.
“Scientific discovery is at an inflection point,” said Sylvain Duranton, Global Leader of BCG X. “We have a unique opportunity to harness AI to rethink how science gets done and supercharge innovation for the benefit of society.”
