Applications and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Life Sciences
Abstract
With the continuous development of science and technology, exploration in the field of life sciences has become increasingly profound, encompassing the understanding of human beings themselves and the exploration of disease etiology and treatment methods.Artificial intelligence is defined as the intelligence exhibited by artificially created systems. The application of artificial intelligence is quite extensive and can replace humans in various aspects of work, significantly enhancing efficiency in daily life and work. Artificial intelligence has a dual nature, as it could provide convenience to human society but could also bring about various adverse effects.This paper summarizes the current applications of artificial intelligence in the field of life sciences. By analyzing the applications of artificial intelligence in areas such as gene editing, drug development, and bioinformatics, it demonstrates the potential of artificial intelligence in the field of life sciences. At the same time, this paper also points out the ethical, technical, social, and various challenges that the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of life sciences faces, with the aim of providing reference for research in related fields.
