A team at the University of Cambridge say this is the first time that a vaccine whose active component was 'designed entirely by computer simulations has been tested in humans.'
This is a stupid headline. The newsworthy part is that they’re trying to make a future-proof vaccine, not that AI was involved.
Using machine learning, they then designed a super antigen containing the antigen features common to this whole group of viruses – including ones that haven’t emerged yet.
