Comment on AI-powered CRISPR could lead to faster gene therapies, Stanford Medicine study finds
Telorand@reddthat.com 3 weeks agoThis is actually an excellent use case for AI. Physics and chemistry as scientific disciplines are lots of complex pattern recognition and manipulation. AI is just a pattern recognition and generation engine, despite what the tech bros and apologists like to tell us.
What these engines generate will ultimately be vetted by experts before it even goes to trials. Scientists don’t just take things on blind faith simply because a robot or even another expert comes up with something; their entire deal is to understand their particular field of study in great detail, after all!

There’s something similar that you can do with categorising stars. Basically they want to map as much of the universe as we can see. We’ve got the photos the problem is is that when you zoom in on a 1 mm by 1 mm patch of sky 1,100,000 new stars appear. It’s going to take a while, even with AI.
You never know you might find a Dyson sphere one day.
