SAIR
The Foundation for Science and AI Research (SAIR) unites the world’s top minds to accelerate scientific discovery while building a deeper scientific foundation for AI. Co-founded by Fields Medalist Terence Tao, alongside Nobel, Turing, and Fields laureates, SAIR represents a new kind of institution: scientist-led, interdisciplinary, and focused on long-term breakthroughs. At SAIR, we focus on two core directions: • AI for Science: Using AI to accelerate scientific discovery across disciplines. • Science for AI: Applying the rigor of the science to build the future of AI Through research programs, global collaborations, and flagship events, SAIR brings together leaders from academia, industry, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy to shape the future of intelligence. Our vision is simple: Grounding intelligence. Scaling discovery.
