Directing evolution of bacteria to change their small molecule output is indeed a great example of the utility of AI and is definitely similar to how we view AI in the overall evolution of a compound series. Today, our core applications of AI are at a lower level in the stack – for example, taking raw images from our microscopes and projecting them into biologically meaningful embedding spaces. That said, we’re building our discovery technologies with an eye towards building closed-loop optimization cycles in small-molecule discovery. We actually just presented more about this a couple weeks ago – if you’re curious, see more here in the Recursion OS section from our recent Download Day.
