Bioinformaticians Can Automate Workflows With AI - But Need Coding Skills To Build Their Own Tools

Artificial intelligence tools like CellProfiler can automate image analysis tasks and accelerate workflows for bioinformaticians.

To build their own AI tools, bioinformaticians need coding skills, especially in Python, and a background in math and statistics.

Online courses, tutorials, and communities are great resources for picking up AI skills. Practical experience is key.

When using AI tools, be mindful of bias in training data and carefully evaluate the tool's decisions.

Mistakes will happen when learning new skills - don't be afraid to experiment and learn through practice.
