##陈天桥携手《科学》杂志，面向全球青年科学家设立“AI驱动科学研究国际大奖”
近日，天桥脑科学研究院（Tianqiao & Chrissy Chen Institute，简称研究院）与《科学》杂志联合宣布，推出“AI驱动科学研究国际大奖”，旨在表彰全球范围内利用人工智能技术推动各个领域科学研究并取得突破性进展的青年科学家。这一奖项的设立，标志着陈天桥在AI+科学领域布局的进一步深化，也预示着AI驱动科学研究的时代已经到来。
据悉，该奖项面向全球利用人工智能相关技术，在自然科学（包括生命科学和物质科学）领域取得重要突破的青年科学家（获得博士学位10年以内）。参赛者需提交一篇1000字左右的论文，阐述其研究成果。大奖和优胜者得主将分别获得3万美元和1万美元的奖励，以及《科学》杂志数字版5年免费订阅，所有获奖论文将发表在《科学》杂志。
研究院创始人雒芊芊表示，设立该奖项的初衷是鼓励更多青年科学家参与到AI驱动科学研究的浪潮中。她认为，对于处于职业生涯早期的青年科学家来说，最看重的是在世界顶级学术杂志上发表论文，希望这次大奖能为一些人圆梦。
《科学》杂志资深编辑Yury V. Suleymanov则表示，非常期待这些成果能够被全球其他研究者借鉴，并为使用人工智能产生开创性的科学研究提供灵感源泉。
值得注意的是，该奖项的中文名称“AI驱动科学大奖”是由陈天桥本人定下来的。他认为，与推动、促进等词语相比，“驱动”这个词能够更好地体现AI本身就是为科学研究提供不竭动力的强劲引擎，更贴切，也更具力量感。
陈天桥在AI+科学领域的布局由来已久。早在2020年，研究院就开始与《科学》杂志合作举办脑科学高端国际论坛，主题涉及脑机接口、人工智能等前沿领域。2024年11月，双方将在中国上海首次举办人工智能与精神健康国际学术论坛。
此外，研究院还推出了“MindD计划”，资助中国科学家建设高质量脑科学数据集，并招募了一批优秀AI科学家和工程师，研究如何用人工智能助力脑机接口解码大脑奥秘，提升公众精神和心理健康，延缓认知衰老等。
陈天桥表示，他希望在未来的诺奖得主中，涌现出越来越多的AI科学家，甚至在某一天，AI本身就能成为科学大奖得主。
“AI驱动科学研究国际大奖”的设立，不仅是陈天桥对AI+科学领域未来发展充满信心，也是对全球青年科学家的一种鼓励和支持。相信在未来，会有越来越多的青年科学家投身于AI驱动科学研究，为人类社会带来更多突破性的成果。

##Chen Tianqiao Partners with *Science* Magazine to Launch a Major AI-Driven Science Award
**Keywords:** AI Award, Brain Science, Chen Tianqiao
**News Content:**
The Tianqiao & Chrissy Chen Institute (TCCI) and *Science* magazine have jointly announced the launch of the “InternationalAI-Driven Science Research Award,” aiming to recognize young scientists worldwide who have made groundbreaking advancements in scientific research using artificial intelligence technology. The establishment of this award marksa further deepening of Chen Tianqiao’s layout in the AI+science field and signals the arrival of the era of AI-driven scientific research.
The award is open to young scientists (within 10 years of receiving their PhD) globally who have made significant breakthroughs in the field of natural sciences (including life sciences and physical sciences) using AI-related technologies. Participants are required to submit a paper of approximately 1,000 words outlining their research findings.The grand prize winner and the runner-up will receive $30,000 and $10,000 respectively, along with a 5-year free subscription to the digital edition of *Science* magazine. All winning papers will be published in *Science*.
Luo Qianqian, founder ofTCCI, stated that the award was established to encourage more young scientists to participate in the wave of AI-driven scientific research. She believes that for young scientists at the beginning of their careers, publishing in top academic journals is of paramount importance. She hopes this award will help some achieve their dreams.
Yury V. Suleymanov, Senior Editor of *Science* magazine, expressed his excitement, stating that he anticipates these findings being utilized by other researchers globally and serving as a source of inspiration for generating groundbreaking scientific research using artificial intelligence.
It is noteworthy that the Chinese name of the award, “AI-Driven Science Award,” was personally chosen by Chen Tianqiao. He believes that compared to words like “promoting” or “facilitating,” “driving” better reflects AI’s role as a powerful engine providing inexhaustible impetus for scientific research. It is more accurate and conveys a stronger sense of power.
Chen Tianqiao’s layoutin the AI+science field has been ongoing for some time. As early as 2020, TCCI began collaborating with *Science* magazine to host high-end international forums on brain science, covering topics such as brain-computer interfaces and artificial intelligence. In November 2024, the twoparties will co-host the first international academic forum on artificial intelligence and mental health in Shanghai, China.
Furthermore, TCCI has launched the “MindD Project,” funding Chinese scientists to build high-quality brain science datasets. They have also recruited a group of outstanding AI scientists and engineers to research how AI can assistbrain-computer interfaces in decoding the mysteries of the brain, enhancing public mental and psychological health, and slowing down cognitive aging.
Chen Tianqiao expressed his hope that in the future, there will be an increasing number of AI scientists among Nobel Prize laureates, and even that AI itself may one day become a recipient ofa scientific award.
The establishment of the “International AI-Driven Science Research Award” not only reflects Chen Tianqiao’s confidence in the future development of the AI+science field but also serves as an encouragement and support for young scientists worldwide. It is believed that in the future, more and more young scientists willdedicate themselves to AI-driven scientific research, bringing about more groundbreaking achievements for human society.
