Scientists are Finding New Ways to Decrease Costs and Improve Efficiency in their Laboratories by using Artificial Intelligence.
AI is at a critical inflection point as it is increasingly used to improve laboratory operations. The awareness of using AI to improve lab operations has only elevated due to its success in aiding the quick development of vaccines to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Below, I will highlight how digitization, automation, and machine learning are being used to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Digitization
With the advancement of artificial intelligence, there is a huge move to digitize labs. The introduction of digitization into laboratories has the goal of transforming daily workflows and broadening the types of analyses that scientists can do. Digitization mainly involves taking information on paper and putting it in a digital format, making it easier to analyze large-scale data. Digitization often involves having electronic lab notebooks and laboratory information management systems. Digitization simplifies record keeping, eliminates manual data processing, and integrates with devices. In addition, digitization helps with the automation of other lab processes. Here is an article to learn more about digitization.
