Tech media outlet techopedia reported yesterday, October 2, thatGoogleUnder DeepMind Collaboration with BioNTech to develop AI lab assistants to help researchers plan experiments and predict results.
The program, led by Sir Demis Hassabis, head of Google's AI division, is transforming industries such as healthcare, energy, and education by driving new types of scientific assistants.
Hassabis attended a recent event hosted by the Nobel Foundation to emphasize that AI is transforming the field of biology and that he hopes to create an AI assistant that can predict the outcome of experiments and enhance the capabilities of researchers in the lab.
However, details about what DeepMind and BioNTech will do together, such as their specific roles and responsibilities, remain unclear.
According to public information, BioNTech and its subsidiary InstaDeep recently launched an AI assistant called Laila, which is based on Meta's open-source Llama 3.1 model, and further fine-tuned by incorporating biological knowledge to realize various experimental assistant functions.
Experts believe that DeepMind's partnership with BioNTech will have a transformative impact on industries such as biotechnology and energy, and that companies that effectively utilize AI will lead the way.
