AI reportedly discovered a novel enzyme system and helped create new bacteriophages

A post says Anthropic embedded Claude in a San Francisco biological lab, where it autonomously discovered a novel enzyme system associated with DNA repeats. It also says Stanford researchers used the open-source AI tool Evo to create 16 viable bacteriophages never before seen in nature; none infect humans. The post cites a September study finding that nearly half of surveyed scientists use AI daily.
