All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
Anthropic's AI has identified a new group of enzymes in viruses, marking the first discovery from the company's new biology lab. While Anthropic hails it as a breakthrough, outside experts urge caution, noting more research is needed to confirm the findings.
Anthropic's claim of an AI-driven scientific discovery is challenged by a University of Copenhagen computational biologist, Mario Rodríguez Mestre. He asserts that his team had been sharing their research on the same enzymes with Anthropic's AI model, Claude, for years, raising concerns about the AI's independent discovery.
