Artificial intelligence - Antibiotic Drugs Research

Researchers at Canada’s McMaster University used AI to discover a promising new drug. Scientists from McMaster University in Canada have used artificial intelligence to discover a new antibiotic-resistant “superbug” treatment. This is a promising breakthrough in the treatment of one of the most difficult to treat and most dangerous antibiotic resistant diseases. The promising new treatment was discovered within a few hours of the use of the AI technology. The research team published a paper about their use of artificial intelligence to discover a superbug treatment in the Nature Chemical…

Artificial intelligence - Medication - AI

The length of time needed from a drug’s creation to its FDA approval is an exceptionally long one. A new application for artificial intelligence in the development of therapeutic compounds has the potential to one day help to reduce the amount of time needed for a new drug to receive its approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The current path takes more than a decade and can cost close to a billion dollars. A CUNY Graduate Center research team has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that may substantially…

Artificial intelligence software - Earning - Money

A Stanford researcher has been training AI to predict what a person’s future earnings will be. A researcher from Stanford has been training artificial intelligence software to forecast what a person’s future earnings might be along their current path and help them to decide what a more valuable skillset might be. The researcher wants the AI to help people to better understand the future of a given career path. Employers often withhold salaries at the application stage of the hiring process. That said, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence researchers…
