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 at Stanford University and Imperial College London. The AI, developed by Google's DeepMind, aims to enhance scientific research rather than replace human scientists. Initial tests on liver fibrosis showed that the AI's suggestions could effectively address disease causes. DeepMind's focus on science follows its leader's recognition with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year. The tool is expected to foster increased collaboration among researchers.
