Anthropic says Claude found a CRISPR-like enzyme system in DNA
Decrypt reports that Anthropic says the finding is autonomous, but even company leadership says the actual function of the enzyme system remains unknown.
Anthropic says its Claude model autonomously found what it describes as a new CRISPR-like enzyme system in DNA, according to Decrypt.
Decrypt reports that Anthropic leadership, including Dario Amodei, acknowledged that nobody yet knows what the enzyme system actually does.
The outlet frames the discovery as significant, while underscoring that the biological function is still unconfirmed.
Beyond the science, the episode highlights how AI-driven discovery could surface novel systems in nature even before their real-world utility is understood, Decrypt adds.
