Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists are developing powerful machine learning models—an application of artificial intelligence—to simulate underground hydrogen storage operations under various cushion gas scenarios. This will play a vital role in the low-carbon economy of the future.Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists are developing powerful machine learning models—an application of artificial intelligence—to simulate underground hydrogen storage operations under various cushion gas scenarios.

As artificial intelligence models become increasingly prevalent and are integrated into diverse sectors like health care, finance, education, transportation, and entertainment, understanding how they work under the hood is critical. Interpreting the mechanisms underlying AI models enables us to audit them for safety and biases, with the potential to deepen our understanding of the science behind intelligence itself.As artificial intelligence models become increasingly prevalent and are integrated into diverse sectors like health care, finance, education, transportation, and entertainment, understanding how they work under the hood is critical.
