The debate around artificial intelligence in the life sciences is evolving. This year at JPM Healthcare Week, the focus was less on whether AI would transform the biopharma industry – that question has largely been settled – and more on how it would be deployed responsibly, at scale, and within the workflows scientists actually use….
Today’s most powerful AI tools – those that can summarize documents, generate artwork, write poetry or predict how incredibly complex proteins fold – all rest on the shoulders of the “transformer”. This neural network architecture, first announced in 2017 at a modest conference center in California, allows machines to process information in a way that…
