Castalia Institute — Magister of Artificial Intelligence in Science

Authoritative copy: part of the MyST project (myst.yml).

Credential name¶

Magister of Artificial Intelligence in Science
Abbreviation: Mag.AI-S

Path¶

Bac.AI  →  Lic.AI  →  Mag.AI-S

Bac.AI establishes baseline literacy (systems, data, ethics).
Lic.AI establishes applied competence in AI tooling and evaluation.
Mag.AI-S establishes mastery: executable scientific worlds, deployments, and a defended thesis.

What the credential attests¶

The holder has demonstrated ability to:

Construct formal scientific worlds (ontology, hypotheses, measurement, uncertainty).
Simulate and stress-test scenarios with honest limitations stated.
Deploy real systems with measurable outcomes and ethical boundaries.
Iterate under critique (human faculty + structured reflection).
Apply technical AI literacy to scientific workflows: evaluation of AI outputs, grounding/RAG where used, scoped tooling (e.g. MCP), and documented human oversight.

Graduate toolbox¶

Layer	What sits in the toolbox
Worlds	Executable models with documented assumptions and observables
Measurement	Calibration habits, uncertainty statements, and limitation logs
Execution	Executable articles (Jupyter Book + notebooks) with runs and measurable outcomes in iNQspace lineage
Tools	MCP-backed scientific tool integrations under policy — least privilege, auditable scopes
Practice	SAMWISE-style reflection discipline; defense-ready explanation under challenge
