Biobanking is expanding at a rapidly accelerating pace due to AI-driven innovations. The first step in the process of biobanking, or “biopiracy”, was taken by Google when it launched its DeepMind AI lab last year. A range of non-human uses of the technology are also emerging following the development of biobanks designed for animals, plants and microbes.
