Japanese scientists are pushing for the use of artificial intelligence in medical research and diagnoses, with a report saying the technology is changing work across industries, including medicine. [1]
The report links the push to Japan’s shortage of talent in science and medical research. [1]
Some researchers in Japan have launched an effort to deploy AI-powered robots for complex wet-lab experiments. The robots are meant to free staff from time-consuming, repetitive work. [1]
The report casts AI as a tool that could help researchers handle routine lab tasks while also supporting medical diagnostics. [1]
