Absci CEO Sean McClain had also publicly confirmed the partnership, stating that AstraZeneca will help to leverage its AI work, according to a Reuters report.
AI is gaining momentum in the healthcare industry, as it could significantly accelerate both innovative research and the accuracy of data analysis. In November, Hong Kong’s Hospital Authority revealed the launch of an AI pilot to combat multidrug-resistant organisms or superbugs.
