As we wrap up the year, weโ€™re reflecting on what AI4Life delivered and what continues beyond the project.
AI4Life concluded in August 2025, but its outcomes remain central to FAIR, accessible AI-powered bioimage analysis.
Hereโ€™s where to start:

Funding a research institute of some hundred people for 10 years?
1.5 Billion.

Funding continued defense of a small country in a war for 2 or so years?
90 Billion.

Elon Muskโ€™s personal wealth?
Estimated 750 Billion.

We are fine! Please move on, there is nothing to see hereโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™

Twitter, pre-Elon had a whole safety team that made sure things like this did not happen.

What needs to happen now is that X needs to be sued into oblivion.
