AI in Biomedical Research: Partner, Competitor, or Crutch?
Back to home
A scientist weighs the promise and peril of artificial intelligence in the lab.
AI is poised to become either a partner, competitor, or crutch for biomedical scientists.
The writer expresses excitement about how useful artificial intelligence can be for biologists and the broader biomedical sciences.
At the same time, there is deep concern that dependence on AI could make new and future biologists less capable as researchers.
The piece also flags the possibility of job losses in science as AI tools become more prevalent.
Balancing AI’s benefits with its risks will shape the next generation of scientific discovery.
