US agencies and AI groups commit $1.8 billion for open biology data

Original: Biohub, US agencies and AI groups commit $1.8 billion to build open data for predictive biology models

Biohub, together with US government agencies and artificial intelligence companies, has pledged $1.8 billion to create open datasets for building predictive biology models. The initiative aims to make large-scale biological data freely available so researchers can develop AI tools for drug discovery, disease understanding and other life sciences applications, rather than keeping such data locked within private or siloed institutions.

Why now: The scale of the funding and the unusual coalition of government agencies and AI firms are being announced now, drawing attention to open data's role in AI-driven biology.
