AI Could Speed Up Response to the Next Pandemic

Artificial intelligence tools are being touted as a way to accelerate pandemic response. Models can compare viral genomes, predict immune epitopes, rank candidate antigens and support vaccine design, potentially cutting early research time. But scientists caution that no algorithm can bypass biology: laboratory experiments, manufacturing validation and human clinical trials remain essential steps, meaning AI speeds up analysis rather than replacing the slower, unavoidable stages of developing and testing vaccines.

Why now: Ongoing concern about pandemic preparedness and rapid advances in AI have put the technology's role in vaccine development under discussion.
