人工智能公司Anthropic宣布其Claude AI系统在病毒DNA中识别出一个此前未知的生物系统，命名为阵列相关反转录酶（ART）1。这一发现展示了AI在自主科学研究中的新潜力。
Claude通过分析超过20万个反转录酶、筛选3500个候选系统并选出20个进行详细分析，最终识别出ART作为值得深入研究的对象1。该系统包含三个关键要素：反转录酶、伴随基因和长的重复DNA序列阵列1。在结构上，ART与CRISPR相似，但其功能是否相同仍需进一步确认1。
Anthropic首席执行官Dario Amodei表示，Claude最终可能能够通过自主控制实验室设备来安全地进行实验1。
Anthropic has announced that its Claude AI system has identified a previously unknown biological system within viral DNA, designated as Array-associated Reverse Transcriptase (ART) 1. The discovery showcases an emerging capability of artificial intelligence in autonomous scientific research, as Claude independently analyzed over 200,000 reverse transcriptases, narrowed the field to 3,500 candidate systems, and selected 20 for detailed examination before identifying ART as a particularly promising subject for further investigation 1.
The newly identified system contains three critical components: a reverse transcriptase enzyme, associated genes, and long arrays of repetitive DNA sequences 1. While ART bears structural similarities to CRISPR, a well-established gene-editing tool, whether the two systems share functional properties remains uncertain 1.
Anthropic's Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei has suggested that Claude may eventually be capable of autonomously controlling laboratory equipment to conduct experiments safely 1. The breakthrough demonstrates how AI systems can contribute to scientific discovery by systematically filtering vast biological datasets to surface novel candidates worthy of expert attention and experimental validation.
