The Future is Here: Artificial Intelligence in the Medical Laboratory

Introduction
For decades, we have been speculating on how our world will change with new innovations and technology introduced to our workspaces. A 2021 survey of laboratory stakeholders found that 66% of respondents felt they would use artificial intelligence (AI) in the future, but were unsure on how. Perhaps this is why speculation on AI is often shadowed by the fear that these new technologies will take over jobs, rendering humans obsolete and unemployed.

In reality, the future of AI in the workplace is already here in medical laboratories across Canada. AI is defined as a machine system that has the ability to learn new concepts and perform tasks that require some sort of intelligence, such as visual analysis. The early adopters of AI technology in the lab use it to process, identify and read samples, and they see elements of the technology already shaping the future of the lab.
