AI in West Virginia

COMPILED BY KENZIE DYE
Artificial intelligence( AI) is quietly reshaping the way people live and work. From predictive text and virtual assistants to advanced automation, AI is embedded in daily life— often in ways that go unnoticed. GATC Health uses AI to accelerate drug discovery while Intermed Labs and M & S Consulting apply AI to enhance health outcomes, scale behavioral health services and improve efficiency. ROC’ s Vision AI strengthens public safety with advanced biometrics and threat detection. Rhetoric uses AI to refine communication and legal skills, and Manpower uses AI for resume building, interview preparation and process automation. Together, these efforts are positioning West Virginia as a leader in AI-powered innovation.
GATC Health is transforming the $ 1.6 trillion pharmaceutical industry by using AI to develop safer, more effective medicines faster and at lower costs. Its proprietary Multiomics Advanced Technology( MAT) platform combines neural networks and machine learning to simulate human biochemistry, analyzing 400 trillion biological data points in minutes. MAT generates high-quality drug candidates in months, predicting safety and efficacy with more than 85 % accuracy. GATC has cut timelines from over a decade to under two years and reduced costs by up to 90 %.
