Traceable Trust for action-ready artificial intelligence in bioscience
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.17997v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming part of the working infrastructure of the biosciences. AI models can predict biomolecular structures, design proteins, rank variants, annotate images, recommend strains and optimise experimental conditions. We argue that the decision to use an AI output to guide laboratory action is a key juncture for trustworthy research and should follow a defined, reviewable process. We propose Traceable Trust as a proportionate assessment-and-design framework for this output-to-action boundary. It asks what evidence

Why it matters
“Traceable Trust for action-ready artificial intelligence in bioscience” exposes the compute, energy and supply-chain layer behind model competition. Capacity shifts can influence model costs, service availability and the ability of smaller companies to compete.
