The SLAC Summer Institute (SSI) is an annual two-week-long Summer School tradition since 1973. The theme of the 51st SLAC Summer Institute is “Artificial Intelligence in Fundamental Physics”. These SSI lectures will introduce methods for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and their successful applications across the fundamental physics. This SSI intends to inspire invigorated efforts for new revelations on how the rapidly developing field of Artificial Intelligence can change the ways  that data is analyzed in fundamental physics. SSI is especially targeted for graduate students and postdocs while senior researchers are also welcome.
