Cambridge researchers test first human vaccine designed entirely by artificial intelligence
By
James Gallagher
Summary
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed what they describe as a 'world-first' vaccine whose key component was designed entirely by artificial intelligence and then trialled in humans. The vaccine targets all coronaviruses, including all COVID-19 variants and animal viruses with pandemic potential. This marks the first time an AI-designed vaccine component has reached human trials, representing a significant milestone in vaccine development and pandemic preparedness.

· 3 pulledArtificial intelligence has been used to develop a 'fundamentally new' type of vaccine that could protect against large swathes of viruses and prevent pandemics, say researchers.
The team at the University of Cambridge say it is the first time a vaccine's key component has been designed entirely by AI and then trialled in people.
The vaccine was engineered to work on all coronaviruses which would include all Covid variants as well as viruses that currently infect animals yet have the potential to start the next pandemic.
