Neat. Too bad it only kills a superbug and not humansResearchers in Canada and the United States have used deep learning to derive an antibiotic that can attack a resistant microbe, acinetobacter baumannii, which can infect wounds and cause pneumonia. According to the BBC, a paper in Nature Chemical Biology describes how the researchers used training data that measured known drugs’ action on the tough bacteria. The learning algorithm then projected the effect of 6,680 compounds with no data on their effectiveness against the germ

Fearmongering at it's finest! -
2023-06-01 at 12:06 AM UTCare molecular biologists who do stuff like that just sitting around in a lab all day creating big ass swords and weapons out of molecules. you think there's all kinds of precise high tech shit going on but in reality its just jousting on a really small levelThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

been wondering about this actually, just bruteforcing virii with differently constructed antibiotics all day long until something clicks
if that's all it is AI is really going to fuck them -
2023-06-01 at 6:19 AM UTCnext instead of the usual testing and double blind testings they are just going to use AI to determine if a drug is safe for long term use or not.
and programmers will be bribed to write AI codes that will favor drugs from a certain company than others.
