Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, the University of Turku, and Tampere University have developed an artificial intelligence-based method for virtual staining of histopathological tissue samples as a part of the Nordic ABCAP consortium. Chemical staining has been the cornerstone of studying histopathology for more than a century and is widely applied in, for example, cancer diagnostics.
Decision-making by artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer science fiction. Staggering examples of AI development can be found around the world. In Finland, AI utilisation also an everyday practice in a vast number of companies and organisations. Researchers at the University of Turku are in the forefront of research on responsible AI and governance of AI.
A University of Turku led consortium has received two-year research funding from Business Finland to study and develop governance mechanisms for artificial intelligence (AI). The total budget of the industry-academia consortium is ca. 4.5 million euros.
