Making AI accessible for life science research

Analysing biological imagery such as microscope slides can be labour-intensive, especially as not all researchers know how best to automate this with AI. The EU-funded AI4LIFE project provides access to AI technologies, making models and AI-ready data sets open and accessible to everyone. This means researchers can spend more time interpreting data, accelerating scientific discovery.
