The AI Race for new Materials

The Industrial AI podcast episode features Robert Weber interviewing Victor Schmidt, the founder of Entropiq, an AI company based in Paris focused on discovering new materials with environmental impact. Schmidt discusses Entropiq's business model, which centers around "research as a service," utilizing AI, particularly GFLOWnets, to intelligently search vast configurations of potential materials. The company collaborates with industrial clients in sectors like batteries and PV, using data and simulations to improve manufacturing processes and develop sustainable technologies. Schmidt also highlights Paris as a dynamic AI ecosystem and Entropiq's commitment to giving back to the community through initiatives like Le Material, a joint venture with Hugging Face.
