Even after Anthropic's claim, there is a long way to go before AI can reliably produce a CRISPR-like gene editing tool.

Experts at the company don't know what the newfound system does, so its potential utility in biology—if any—remains unclear.

Anthropic’s claim its AI agents discovered an unusual pattern in viral DNA similar to what’s seen in the gene-editing tool CRISPR Cas-9 has set off controversy.
