AI solves superbug mystery in two days after scientists took 10 years
A scientific mystery that took 10 years to solve was cracked in just two days by Google’s artificial intelligence.
Scientists at Imperial College London had spent a decade solving a mystery in the field of antimicrobial resistance(AMR), which creates superbugs that are immune to antibiotics, and are expected to kill millions of people a year by 2050. The team, using traditional research methods, had theorised and then proved how different bacteria are able to accrue new DNA which can make them more dangerous, and its study is now in the process of being published by Cell, the prestigious peer-reviewed journal. Dr Tiago Dias da Costa, a bacterial pathogenesis expert at Imperial and co-author of the study, added: “It’s about 10 years of research which was condensed in two days by co-scientist.”
