AI discovers new antibiotic(s)
|
"A pioneering machine-learning approach has identified powerful new types of antibiotic from a pool of more than 100 million molecules — including one that works against a wide range of bacteria, including tuberculosis and strains considered untreatable."

Very cool indeed!!!
Our AI overlords want us humans to be healthy! A sick slave is not very productive!

Know God, Know fear. 
Such a brave, new world we are entering into. Some of the most celebrated predictions of sci-fi are coming true. But what when we are dependent on AI to save us from our poor decisions?
Scientists have long-warned of antibiotic-resistant germs if we keep up with our current practices. Now we have an out in the form of AI. Is that really something to celebrate? Maybe in the short-term. But in the long-term, this may be another way in which we welcome our machine overlords.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
