Although artificial intelligence (AI) is a hot topic right now, many professionals working in the regenerative medicine field may not be aware of how it is already being used to support cell and gene therapies. In this episode, Mamatha Bhat MD, PhD, FRCPC, and Julie Audet, PhD, PEng, discuss the ways that AI is being used in the life sciences and health care field, as well as in their work. Additionally, our guests highlight some positive and promising research findings that reveal how AI can be used in the regenerative medicine field, and how AI can support the manufacturing of cell and gene therapies. And addressing the concern we all have, our guests consider the possible impacts of AI on jobs in the regenerative medicine field, as well as the potential effects of AI on living therapies more broadly.
