Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work across industries. 
Medicine is no exception. 
Two recent developments in Japan show how technology could help the nation cope with a shortage of talent in the fields of science and medical research. 
Some researchers have launched an effort to deploy AI-powered robots to carry out complex wet-lab experiments, which could free staff from time-consuming, repetitive work.
