Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Anthropic on Monday announced a new service called Claude of Life Sciences that uses artificial intelligence in efforts to advance scientific discovery.
This is the San Francisco-based tech company's first formal entry into life sciences research.
Digital tools will allow researchers to use Claude to make new discoveries through literature reviews to developing hypotheses, analyzing data, drafting regulatory submission, Anthropic said.
"Now is the threshold moment for us where we've decided this is a big investment area," Eric Kauderer-Abrams, who was hired a few months ago as head of biology and life science for Anthropic, told CNBC in an interview Monday. "We want a meaningful percentage of all of the life science work in the world to run on Claude, in the same way that that happens today with coding."
Anthropic has developed a family of large language models through Claude.
