AI Spots Gene-Editing Mistake Makers, Paving Way for Safer Therapies

Google’s artificial intelligence tool, AlphaFold, is helping scientists identify the specific parts of gene-editing proteins that cause dangerous errors. Researchers are now using this AI model to redesign these proteins, making them less likely to accidentally cut the wrong DNA. The breakthrough could lead to safer gene therapies for patients by reducing the risk of unintended genetic changes.
