This May, hundreds gathered at CSHL to explore how AI can enhance biological research. Leaders in AI and tech chatted with luminaries of biology, drug development, and health care in a rare exchange of perspectives that enriched all sides. Questions about how to improve AI performance and efficiency were weighed against theories of how to rigorously and reliably interpret mountains of data.
鈥淏iology has gone from data-poor to data-rich,鈥 mused Salk Institute Professor , a pioneer of computational neuroscience and AI. 鈥淭hat means you need new tools for analyzing the data. And there鈥檚 going to be new conceptual frameworks that come out of it.鈥 Here, at the CSHL Symposium, you see them begin to take shape.
Press play to watch it happen in real time and glimpse a fast-approaching future in which biologists鈥攕upported by AI鈥攁re able to make discoveries on a scale never before imagined.
