An artificial intelligence-based system for visual recognition of hazardous particles in an air sample (ID8)

The use of AI technology in scientific research extends beyond its practical benefits.

A German research institute is using an AI-based microscope that can analyse the electron image and detect and classify fibres by size.

Replacing manual and repetitive tasks, reducing the risk of sample contamination and saving time, it has also improved social dynamics within the research group.

With the negative and often polarising effects of menial labour allocation gone, interactions and discussions among co-workers now focus on more relevant, intellectual and productive topics.
