Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence for human living organoid research.

As a powerful paradigm, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly impacting every aspect of our day-to-day life and scientific research through interdisciplinary transformations. Living human organoids (LOs) have a great potential for reshaping many aspects of true human organs, including organ development, disease occurrence, and drug responses. To date, AI has driven the revolutionary advances of human organoids in life science, precision medicine and pharmaceutical science in an unprecedented way. Herein, we provide a forward-looking review, the frontiers of LOs, covering the engineered construction strategies and multidisciplinary technologies for developing LOs, highlighting the cutting-edge achievements and the prospective applications of AI in LOs, particularly in biological study, disease occurrence, disease diagnosis and prediction and drug screening in preclinical assay. Moreover, we shed light on the new research trends harnessing the power of AI for LO research in the context of multidisciplinary technologies. The aim of this paper is to motivate researchers to explore organ function throughout the human life cycle, narrow the gap between microphysiological models and the real human body, accurately predict human-related responses to external stimuli (cues and drugs), accelerate the preclinical-to-clinical transformation, and ultimately enhance the health and well-being of patients.
