A recent industry survey found that 60% of life science laboratories are currently piloting or exploring artificial intelligence [1]. While interest in the technology is high, very few facilities have moved these projects into full production environments [1]. Researchers are focusing on how automation can improve efficiency across various laboratory workflows [1].
Despite the high interest, several critical barriers prevent widespread adoption [1]. Security concerns and existing data silos are the primary challenges cited by laboratory managers [1]. These obstacles often complicate the integration of new digital tools into established scientific protocols [1].
