Figure 1. Top 10 impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on life sciences. This figure illustrates the key domains where AI technologies are transforming life sciences research and application. We highlight the most common intersections among ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Grok, ranked by frequency and relevance. From accelerating drug discovery and development to enabling precision medicine, AI enhances decision-making by integrating vast and complex biomedical data. Medical imaging and diagnostics benefit from AI-powered image recognition, while genomics and omics analysis leverage machine learning to interpret large-scale sequencing data. Clinical decision support systems use AI to improve patient outcomes, and biological data integration facilitates knowledge extraction from heterogeneous sources. In synthetic biology and protein engineering, AI aids in designing novel biomolecules and functions. Clinical trial optimization is advanced through predictive analytics, improving recruitment and success rates. AI also plays a crucial role in public health surveillance, modeling disease spread and guiding interventions. Finally, laboratory automation and robotics streamline experimental workflows, enabling high-throughput and reproducible research. Collectively, these domains highlight the profound and multidisciplinary influence of AI on modern life sciences.
