Leveraging AI for Laboratory Administration & Management

The ongoing shortage of trained laboratory personnel highlights the need to optimize efficiency using all available tools. Large language models (LLMs)—such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and NotebookLM—offer AI-powered solutions to support laboratory professionals in administrative and management tasks that can otherwise often be time-consuming.

While LLMs cannot replace human experience, intuition, or personality, they can enhance creativity, efficiency, and workflow. This job aid outlines practical use cases based on feedback from laboratory leaders in pathology and laboratory medicine.
