Listen "Starry-Eyed and Sobering Views on AI in Biology"
Episode Synopsis
If data is the new oil in an AI centric world, then amassing ever-larger multidimensional datasets can only be a good thing.
But how can we use these datasets to gain deeper insight into biology?
This is the question we try to answer in season 1’s final episode. Between us, we bring views of the AI optimist and skeptic—with starry-eyed visions and sobering realities—to the table before reaching a conclusion.
