DESCRIPTION:\n \nBlueprint Workshop: Towards a National-scale AI Collabor
 ation in HEP\n \n\nA recent community whitepaper\, “Building an AI-nati
 ve Research Ecosystem for Experimental Particle Physics: A Community Visio
 n”\, outlines how AI could accelerate discovery in the field and identif
 ies four Grand Challenges that must be addressed to enable transformative 
 progress. This blueprint workshop is intended to bring together the U.S. p
 article and nuclear physics community to discuss how a coordinated\, natio
 nal-scale collaboration might realize that vision.\nA central focus of the
  workshop will be discussions on how such a national-scale collaboration c
 ould be effectively bootstrapped and organized\, as well as identifying pr
 iorities over the near and medium term.\nSuch a collaboration\, including 
 both universities and DOE laboratories\, has a number of potential benefit
 s and opportunities\, including:\n\n\na forum for developing a shared road
 map toward an AI-native research ecosystem\n\n\na platform for enabling la
 rger-scale efforts while integrating expertise and resources from across t
 he community\n\n\nclear pathways to scale and transition promising R&D act
 ivities towards deployment within experiments\n\n\na structure to develop 
 and provide the services needed for the experiments to fully leverage evol
 ving national infrastructure (e.g.\, AmSC\, NAIRR) and large-scale data re
 sources\n\n\nfostering both collaboration and healthy competition through 
 the development of shared benchmarks and the development and curation of t
 he supporting datasets\n\n\naccessible entry points for individual univers
 ity groups to engage and contribute\n\n\na coherent framework for cross-ex
 periment activities\, enabling solutions with impact to deliver benefit to
  multiple experiments\n\n\na clear structure for US engagement with intern
 ational efforts\, including those at CERN\, and other national and regiona
 l collaborations\n\n\na community structure for engagement with industry\n
 \n\na structure for large scale workforce development activities leveragin
 g both lab and university expertise\n\n\nThis first workshop will consider
  the potential impact of these opportunities\, identifying near-term prior
 ities and exploring means to enable additional initiatives as resources be
 come available. We expect that this discussion will continue in subsequent
  community workhops during 2026.\n \n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is being org
 anized by the Coordinating Panel for Software and Computing (CPSC) which i
 s hosted by the Division of Particles and Fields (DPF) of the American Phy
 sical Society (APS).\n\n\n\n\n \n\nhttps://indico.flatironinstitute.org/e
