Outer Biosciences Trains AI on Living Human Skin Tissue

Michael Polansky's startup Outer Biosciences is training an AI model using living human skin tissue as direct input, per an August 22 TechCrunch report. The company spent years keeping living human tissue viable outside the body for over a month. Most AI-biology work relies on digital data like genomic sequences or protein structures; Outer Biosciences uses the tissue itself.
