Researchers release the first vaccine fully developed by AI program

[Sankari]

Right here in little old Adelaide!

A team of researchers at Flinders University in South Australia has created a vaccine that is considered to be the first human drug to be fully designed by artificial intelligence. This vaccine was independently designed by an AI software known as SAM or Search Algorithm for Ligands.

A program was developed known as the Synthetic Chemist that generated a vast number of different chemical compounds which were fed to SAM. This vaccine was tested on animals to confirm that it boosted the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine.

We have a bunch of world-leading research intensive universities (the Group of Eight).

Already is and has been for decades: it's called econometrics.

Why is it called SAM and not SAL, though?

Because something something the patriarchy.

I thought the Group of Eight was a reference to the hot women of Home & Away?
