Super cool and interesting announcement by the creators of Claude! AI can really help with various stages of the life sciences process!
It will be able to help researchers through all stages of the discovery process, from carrying out literature reviews to developing hypotheses, analyzing data, drafting regulatory submissions and more, Anthropic said.
To do this Anthropic was smart and make deals/agreements with key players in the space before they announced it. These integrations are key to a successful project.
key players in the life sciences ecosystem, including Benchling, PubMed, 10x Genomics and Synapse.org, among others. Anthropic has also partnered with companies that can help life sciences organizations adopt AI, like Caylent, KPMG, Deloitte, and cloud providers AWS and Google Cloud, the company said.
Likely the most important to me though is that Anthropic also is approaching this in a way that they are not promising to cut deployment to just a few days from the months to years it currently takes.
Anthropic said an analysis like this used to require “days” of validating and compiling information, but now, it can be done in minutes.Kauderer-Abrams said the company believes AI can bring about real efficiency gains for the life sciences sector, but it’s also under “no illusions” that it will magically overcome the physical limitations of conducting scientific research. Clinical trials that take three years are not suddenly going to take one month, he said.Instead, Anthropic is focused on exploring the time-consuming, expensive parts of the discovery process “piece by piece” to determine where AI could be most useful.
