AI Tool Solves Superbug Resistance Mystery in 48 Hours, A Task That Took Scientists Nearly a Decade to Unravel


  • A new AI tool has solved a complex microbiology puzzle in just two days.

  • Scientists in London spent years researching how superbugs develop antibiotic resistance.

  • Google's AI tool, "Scholar," reached the same conclusion in 48 hours without prior access to the scientists' unpublished research.

  • The AI tool also proposed four additional hypotheses, one of which the team had never considered.

  • The research focused on how superbugs acquire resistance, suspecting they use viral "tails" for transfer between species.

  • The AI independently arrived at the same theory, reinforcing the scientists' findings.

  • Researchers believe AI could revolutionize scientific discoveries.
