Description
Anthropic's new life sciences group disclosed Claude's first autonomous discovery: array-associated reverse transcriptases in an uncharacterized bacteriophage system with structural similarities to CRISPR. Claude flagged it. Human researchers didn't assign it. We cover what this means for AI in science, Australia's PM revealing an OpenAI Medicare breach at the UN, and Amazon opening Seller Central to AI agents.
