FutureHouse previews an AI tool for ‘data-driven’ biology discovery


Eric Schmidt-backed nonprofit FutureHouse is previewing an AI tool for 'data-driven' biology discovery, called Finch.

FutureHouse, an Eric Schmidt-backed nonprofit that aims to build an “AI scientist” within the next decade, has released a new tool that it claims can help support “data-driven discovery” in biology. The tool, called Finch, takes in biology data (primarily in the form of research papers) and a prompt (e.g. “What can you tell me about molecular drivers of cancer mataseses?”) and runs code before generating figures and inspecting the results. BOOK NOW Finch similarly makes “silly mistakes,” Rodriques said — which is why FutureHouse is recruiting bioinformaticians and computational biologists to help evaluate its accuracy and reliability and train it while it’s in closed beta.
