Description

This course introduces you to using AI in lifescience. It covers a number of topics that you should be familiar with if you want to use AI consciously and responsibly in your work. We will introduce you to:

  • working with agentic AI
  • cybersecurity challanges specific to AI-assisted work
  • explainable AI illustrated with real life examples
  • legal and ethical aspects of AI-assisted work

Throughout the course, we will be focusing on providing examples and illustrating new concepts using cases taken from lifescience such as lab practise, clinical medicine, pharmacy etc.
