Anthropic is operating a lab that conducts biology experiments

# Anthropic's New Biology Lab: AI for Disease Research Anthropic, the company behind Claude AI, has set up a lab to run actual biology experiments, betting that AI can help discover new medicines and treatments. This is notable because the same company has also publicly warned about risks from advanced AI systems—so they're trying to make AI useful for humanity while being cautious about its dangers. It's one of the first major moves by an AI safety-focused company to directly apply their technology to real-world medical problems.
AI leaders have been promising that AI is the key to curing human disease. Anthropic researchers have also been warning that AI might kill us all.
