\n DO<\/strong>not just answer<\/span><\/span>\n <\/div>\n
AI is starting to work on tasks, not only talk about them<\/h3>\n
The important change is simple: instead of only answering a question, an AI system can be given a job inside software and carry out several steps \u2014 while people still define permissions, limits and checks.<\/p>\n
\n 69B<\/strong>molecules searched<\/span><\/span>\n <\/div>\n
AI can search for promising medicine candidates at a scale humans cannot<\/h3>\n
Researchers used a system to search a prepared space of roughly 69 billion drug-like molecules and then tested selected candidates in the lab. That can make early discovery faster \u2014 but it does not mean a finished medicine already exists.<\/p>\n
