AI as an Alternative to Animal Testing
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly reduce the reliance on animal testing in scientific research. Current animal testing practices, despite their usefulness, present challenges in accurately predicting human reactions, as shown by the inconsistent results between animal models and human trials. For instance, while aspirin is toxic to certain animals, it is safe and beneficial for humans. By utilizing machine learning techniques, AI can analyze vast amounts of toxicology data more efficiently than traditional methods, thus identifying chemicals that pose risks and ultimately speeding up drug development processes.
