Google unveils AI tool to support biomedical research and hypothesis generation

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 hypotheses. The tool has been tested by scientists at Stanford University and Imperial College London. Initial results from experiments on liver fibrosis indicate that the AI can suggest effective approaches to disease inhibition. Google emphasizes that the AI is meant to enhance, not replace, human researchers. The company believes it will foster greater scientific collaboration among experts.
