First AI-designed 'universal vaccine' tested in humans: UK researchers

Article excerpt

British researchers tested the first AI-designed universal vaccine in humans, finding it produced a "modest" immune response in an early-stage trial. The vaccine, created using artificial intelligence, targets a broad range of viruses rather than a single pathogen, a potentially significant shift if the approach proves effective at larger scales. The modest results in this small trial suggest the technology works in principle but requires further development before it could protect against multiple viral threats simultaneously.
