A recent review highlights the future of artificial intelligence-enabled self-driving laboratories in bioprocess engineering, suggesting their evolution into hybrid systems combining automated decision-making with human oversight. The authors categorize laboratory autonomy on a scale from Level 0 to Level 5, with most current bioprocess automation operating at Levels 1 and 2. They propose a modular framework for core and auxiliary processes to enhance bioprocessing efficiency while addressing challenges like scale-up and regulatory compliance. The review emphasizes that human expertise is essential for the successful integration of AI technologies.
