High−throughput computation, high−throughput experimentation, and database development under the Materials Genome initiative have provided the data and platform foundations for artificial intelligence (AI) in materials science. From the interdisciplinary perspective of materials science, mechanics, computational science, automation, and engineering, this article defines materials/mechanics informatics (AI for Materials and Mechanics, AI4M2) and reviews progress in materials design, microstructure characterization, process optimization, mechanics modeling, self−driving experimentation, and scientific agents. The hard cornerstones of AI4M2 are AI−enabled experimental robots, high−throughput platforms, intelligent characterization equipment, and self−driving laboratories; its soft cornerstones are AI algorithms, multiscale computation, scientific foundation models, digital twins, and scientific software. Data infrastructure connects the two, while scientific agents link models, tools, experiments, and engineering scenarios. In view of insufficient high−quality data, limited physical interpretability and cross−scale generalization, weak experimental closed loops and indigenous software and equipment, and a shortage of interdisciplinary talent, representative practices in China and abroad are compared. Actionable pathways are proposed, including common data standards and interfaces, shared pilot−scale intelligent laboratories, verifiable indigenous software toolchains, engineering−led demonstration projects, and integrated undergraduate−to−doctoral training.
