摘　　要：近年来,人工智能(AI)在前沿科技领域取得了诸如AlphaFold2、核聚变智能控制、新冠药物设计等诸多令人瞩目成果,表明AI for Science正在成为一种新的研究范式。实现智能时代的基础科学源头创新及其下游重大技术创新,需破解2个方面的核心问题:(1)如何利用新一代AI(特别是生成式AI及大模型)的通用性和创造性推动新范式的形成;(2)如何利用AI实现对传统科学设施的赋能与改造。文章提出一种智能化科学设施的建设构想,兼顾“高度智能化的科学新设施”和“AI赋能已有科学大设施”2个层面的需求,构筑AI for Science的科学设施体系,形成科学领域大模型、生成式模拟与反演、自主智能无人实验及大规模可信科研协作等创新功能,加速重大科学发现、变革性物质合成,以及重大工程技术应用。In recent years,artificial intelligence(AI)has achieved numerous disruptive breakthroughs in frontier scientific and technological fields,such as AlphaFold2 for protein structure prediction,intelligent control of nuclear fusion,and drug design for COVID-19.These achievements indicate that AI for Science is becoming a new paradigm in research.To achieve fundamental scientific innovation and major technological breakthroughs in the era of intelligence,two core issues should be addressed:1)how to harness the generality and creativity of the new-generation of AI,especially generative AI and large language models(LLMs),to promote the formation of new paradigms;2)how to empower and transform traditional scientific facilities using AI.To tackle these challenges,this study proposes a concept of AI-enabled scientific facility(AISF)that caters to the requirements of both establishment of totally new intelligent scientific facility and AI empowerment of existing scientific facilities.It aims to construct an infrastructure system for AI for Science,enabling innovative functionalities such as scientific large language models(LLMs),generative simulation and inversion,autonomous intelligent unmanned experiments,and large-scale trustworthy scientific collaboration.These advancements will accelerate scientific discoveries,synthesis of transformative materials,and application of related engineering technologies.
