AI agents enter the ‘wet lab’
An AI system coordinates laboratory instruments to conduct multi-step molecular-biology experiments with limited human intervention.
Artificial intelligence has been tremendously useful in science, but, most of the time, it is used for computational work, such as analysing data, making predictions and scouring literature. Carrying out ‘wet laboratory’ experiments, which involve handling liquids, biological material and chemicals, is another matter. […]
