AI-Ready Data and Why FAIR Data Matters in Life Science Companies
As life-science organizations race to adopt (generative) AI, one point begins to stand out: your AI is only as good as your data. While large language models (LLMs) offer powerful capabilities, they’re not tailored to specialized scientific data—and do need a solid data foundation. Making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) enables AI systems […]
