AI adoption in life sciences laboratories is widespread but mostly experimental, with only 5% using AI agents in production.
Over 60% of labs are exploring or piloting AI, but 58% express privacy and security concerns.
Organizations are prioritizing AI for data analysis, workflow automation, experiment design, and sample management.
Connectivity issues, including lack of integration among systems and reliance on manual operations, are significant barriers to adoption.
Data quality and management remain critical bottlenecks, although slightly less prevalent than the previous year.
Investment is shifting towards automation, AI-enabled software, and data infrastructure enhancements over standalone tools.
Lab leaders emphasize the need for connectivity between laboratory information management systems and electronic lab notebooks.
