The detection effort enlisted roughly 950 AI agents, which spent more than 21 hours combing through DNA sequence databases. Scientists have not yet determined what the newfound viral sequences do, leaving it unclear whether the function matches microbial CRISPR systems. Meanwhile, the Anthropic CEO stated that artificial intelligence could cure most major diseases within the next decade
