What does it take to build AI systems that can actually help scientists? Research lead Joy Jiao and product lead Yunyun Wang discuss how OpenAI is developing models for life sciences and what responsible deployment means in a field with real biosecurity stakes. They explore how AI is already improving research workflows and where it could lead in drug discovery and more autonomous labs — including why a future with less pipetting sounds pretty good to most scientists.
