  • Data-Generating AI Platform Conducts Huge Number Of Microbial Experiments

    Bio-IT World | Bioengineers at the University of Michigan (U-M) have seriously scaled up data collection on bacterial species known to affect human health with robots and an artificial intelligence (AI) system that learns from scratch without the need for big databases of knowledge to train on. Dubbed BacterAI, the platform generates its own data and quickly gets smarter by playing a game doling out reward points for accurately predicting the outcome of an experiment.
