2026 Perceptions of AI Survey Insights Beyond the Bench

What Do 443 Life Science Researchers Really Think About AI?

We went straight to the source. Download key findings from BioInformatics’ global survey of scientists and researchers on their perceptions, adoption, and trust of artificial intelligence in the lab.

AI has made its way into labs around the world — but what do the scientists actually using it think? BioInformatics’ Beyond the Bench survey insights cut through the noise to deliver unfiltered intelligence straight from the research community. Drawing on responses from 443 scientists and researchers across North America, Europe, and APAC, this free report sample surfaces key findings on how life science professionals are adopting, integrating, and evaluating AI tools in their day-to-day workflows.

What’s inside:

·       How AI adoption has evolved since 2023 — and where the momentum is actually coming from

·       The gap between organizational AI ambition and real-world implementation

·       Why trust in AI-generated outputs remains a persistent barrier for the majority of researchers

·       Which AI applications are seeing the most demand — and where unmet needs remain
