Proteins Made by Autonomous Robot!
The future is now—robots have taken over the laboratory! A self-driving lab, directed by a simple artificial intelligence model, managed to reengineer proteins with zero input from humans. The hope is that autonomous labs like this will hasten the scientific process and develop solutions that wouldn’t have occurred to humans on their own.
Monotonous work no more! This self-driving lab can handle the repetitive work of protein engineering, meaning it can develop assays for specific properties, screen mutated versions of proteins, and much more. All of this without any human intervention, making the entire process a walk in the park!
But don’t worry, scientists are still needed—this new innovation isn’t about replacing jobs. Rather, it’s about automating the dull and tedious parts of the work to allow scientists to focus on the more interesting aspects of their research.
Can you imagine a world where science experiments are carried out without any human involvement? How do you think this will impact the field of science in the years to come? Share your thoughts and ideas in the comments below!
