The AI Revolution in Life Sciences: Technologies, Applications, and Future Directions
Description
The AI Revolution in Life Sciences: Technologies, Applications, and Future Directions explores the transformative role
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in life-science research, healthcare, biotechnology, agriculture, and biological engineering.
The book provides a concise and accessible overview of AI technologies, applications, opportunities, and challenges
shaping this rapidly evolving field.
It introduces key concepts such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision,
predictive analytics, and generative AI, highlighting their ability to process complex datasets, identify patterns, improve
prediction, and support scientific decision-making.
The book examines important applications of AI in drug discovery, disease diagnosis, precision medicine, genomics,
biotechnology, bioengineering, and precision agriculture. These applications demonstrate how AI can accelerate
research, improve healthcare outcomes, enhance biological analysis, and support more efficient and sustainable systems.
It also addresses responsible AI adoption through discussions of data privacy, cybersecurity, algorithmic bias,
transparency, explainability, ethics, and regulatory challenges. Looking ahead, the book explores emerging areas such as
generative AI, autonomous laboratories, digital biology, AI-driven biological discovery, and AI–quantum computing
integration.
Designed for students, researchers, academicians, healthcare professionals, biotechnology specialists, and life-science
practitioners, the book provides a foundation for understanding both the current capabilities and future possibilities of AI.
Ultimately, the book presents AI as a powerful enabling force capable of reshaping scientific discovery, healthcare,
biotechnology, agriculture, and sustainable development, while emphasising the ethical and practical responsibilities that
accompany its adoption.
