Could AI put an end to animal testing?
From animal lovers to laboratory technicians, no-one enjoys subjecting animals to scientific testing.
It is instead done to help ensure that drugs and other substances are safe for eventual human use.
Researchers have long sought non-animal alternatives. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are now accelerating this work.
One application of AI in this field is simple but said to be proving effective – using it to trawl through all the existing and available global animal testing results to prevent the need for unnecessary new tests.
