How does AI help fight superbugs?
Artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning, is revolutionising the fight against superbugs by precisely targeting drug-resistant bacteria. The story details how AI algorithms can design custom bacteriophages and decode their genomes. This allows scientists to predict how these phages will interact with bacteria, significantly improving the accuracy and effectiveness of these viral treatments against tough infections.
