AI-powered CRISPR could lead to faster gene therapies, Stanford Medicine study finds

Here your ass on your elbow like you asked
I am asking that all the people doing this watch Jurassic Park at least once.
I'll let experts do their thing, but this kind of thing worries me. I never had "there is no singularity, AI just engineers a generic disease by accident and kills is all" on my bingo.
This is actually an excellent use case for AI. Physics and chemistry as scientific disciplines are lots of complex pattern recognition and manipulation. AI is just a pattern recognition and generation engine, despite what the tech bros and apologists like to tell us.
What these engines generate will ultimately be vetted by experts before it even goes to trials. Scientists don't just take things on blind faith simply because a robot or even another expert comes up with something; their entire deal is to understand their particular field of study in great detail, after all!
Back in the day, I used to fold proteins at home.
There's something similar that you can do with categorising stars. Basically they want to map as much of the universe as we can see. We've got the photos the problem is is that when you zoom in on a 1 mm by 1 mm patch of sky 1,100,000 new stars appear. It's going to take a while, even with AI.
You never know you might find a Dyson sphere one day.
Eh. Read the book first.
Machine learning sure, but an llm? For anything other then as a module to translate abstract data into words that just seem weird
I am not saying i understand it at all. My comment is genuine, not rhetorical.
On the contrary i express that i do not understand this to the point of deeming it strange or weird, triggering my curiosity.
I was hoping someone would chime in an explain how text generator techniques (which i do know alot about) known to have no capacity to use real world reason or logic can be used to help solve dna puzzles unless as a sub module of general machine learning. In which that later case would be within my understanding
This seems irresponsible.
There was an old game from the PlayStation days called Xenogears. There was a population of mutants and monsters in it than came about from fucking with DNA irresponsibly. I’m reminded of that obnoxious rat-man from the Kislev prison.
Lol... people downvoting stanford university
Lemmy is a wild place.... left wing maga, i guess
DeepMind’s AlphaFold solved the decades-old protein folding problem, and its results are already being used in drug and vaccine development.
CRISPR is the tool that lets us precisely edit genes in DNA, which contain the instructions for making proteins. AlphaFold is the AI tool that helped us understand what those edits actually do. It’s the 3D shape of the protein that determines its function - without understanding protein folding, gene editing would be like changing code in a language you don’t fully understand and just hoping it works.
It says AI in the title. That's all information they need. Most people on social media don't think - they react.
No I doesn't.
The problem is the term AI has become so broadly used that it's become meaningless. There is a popular quote about how the quota doesn't want AI to replace artistic jobs, as if it will. As if generative AI and large language models and projects like this are the same.
When the bubble bursts, (please let it be soon) we're still going to have all of the science AIs because those are actually useful. What we don't need is AI girlfriends.
AI-powered
Yes it does.
