Scientists are discussing how artificial intelligence could accelerate pandemic response. Machine learning models can compare viral genomes, predict immune epitopes, rank candidate antigens and support vaccine design far faster than manual methods. But researchers stress that AI cannot replace the slower steps of biology: laboratory experiments, manufacturing validation and human clinical trials remain essential before any vaccine reaches people.

Why now: Ongoing concern about pandemic preparedness and fast-growing interest in AI's role in biomedical research

• AI could help scientists respond faster to the next pandemic. Models can compare viral genomes, predict epitopes, rank antigens and support vaccine design. But no algorithm can skip biology: lab experiments, manufacturing validation and human clinical trials still matter.… · nexthorizon · 19
