Google unveils AI tool to support biomedical research collaboration

Google has created an AI tool designed to assist biomedical researchers. This virtual collaborator can analyze large amounts of scientific literature and help generate new research ideas. It has been tested by scientists at Stanford University and Imperial College London. The AI tool showed promising results in an experiment on liver fibrosis, suggesting it can enhance expert-generated solutions. Google’s AI unit, DeepMind, aims to support scientific research, following its recent recognition with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Researchers involved in the project emphasize that the AI will complement human scientists, fostering increased collaboration rather than replacing them.
