The company compares the discovery to CRISPR and suggests AI could cure most major diseases within the next decade. While Anthropic presents this as a demonstration of AI-accelerated basic research, some scientists are pushing back, arguing that the framing is premature and demanding peer-reviewed evidence and lab validation to confirm the findings.Why it mattersCRISPR is a widely used tool for precise gene editing in medicine and agriculture.
