Disease outbreaks like the coronavirus often unfold too quickly for scientists to find a cure.

But in the future, artificial intelligence could help researchers do a better job.While it’s probably too late for the fledgling technology to play a major role in the current epidemic, there’s hope for the next outbreaks.

In Exscientia’s approach, dubbed the Centaur Chemist, drug designers help teach the algorithms strategies for searching for compounds.

Healx isn’t working on tackling the coronavirus or tweaking its technology for outbreaks, but it wouldn’t be a stretch.“We’re quite close,” Thompson said in an interview.

“We wouldn’t need to change much about the AI algorithms we use. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1582441476.0257146/Artificial-Intelligence-could-fight-a-future-Coronavirus?ref=audio_experience
