Anthropic has launched an "AI for Science" program to support researchers in high-impact scientific projects, particularly in biology and life sciences. The initiative offers up to $20,000 in API credits to qualified researchers, enabling access to Anthropic’s AI models.
The program aims to assist in analyzing complex data, generating hypotheses, and enhancing research efficiency. Anthropic emphasizes the potential of AI to accelerate scientific discovery, despite some skepticism among researchers regarding AI's current reliability in guiding the scientific process. Applications will be reviewed monthly based on scientific merit and potential impact.
