It was already possible to carry out automatic segmentation of those biological structures, but the dedicated methods only worked in specific conditions and adapting them to new conditions was costly. An international research team led by Göttingen University has now developed a method for retraining the existing AI-based software Segment Anything on over 17,000 microscopy images with over 2 million structures annotated by hand.
So getting the AI to spit back the work already done and hope it doesn't hallucinate something so everything has to be double-checked anyway? Ok I guess.
