A novel vaccine, entirely designed by artificial intelligence to target a broad range of viruses, has shown a 'modest' effect on immune systems in an initial human trial. This marks a significant milestone in AI-driven vaccine development.

A vaccine targeting a broad range of viruses that was designed using artificial intelligence had a “modest” effect on immune systems in a small, early trial, according to a new study. The trial marks the first time a vaccine whose active ingredient was entirely designed by AI has been tested in humans, researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK said on Friday. The experimental jab is intended to be a “universal vaccine” which protects people against a range of viruses that have...
