Abstract

Artificial intelligence is currently driving the evolution of scientific research toward a “fifth paradigm” characterized by intelligence. Major global economies are elevating the integration of AI into scientific research (AI for Science, AI4S) to the level of national strategy, rapidly rolling out strategic plans and policy measures amidst intensifying global strategic competition in this field. Based on analyzing the typical paradigms and strategic value of AI4S, this study examines the global strategic landscape by focusing on major economies such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan; compares and analyzes their policy frameworks regarding organizational coordination, platform development, and resource support, while identifying emerging trends in the evolution of global AI4S strategies. Furthermore, the study analyzes the challenges and limitations facing AI4S from the perspectives of research paradigms, research systems, and research ethics, offering policy recommendations for the development of AI4S in China.
