     What could possibly go wrong 😨

     AI designs antibiotics for gonorrhoea and MRSA superbugs

     The drugs were designed atom-by-atom by the AI and killed the superbugs in laboratory and animal tests.

     The two compounds still need years of refinement and clinical trials before they could be prescribed.

     But the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) team behind it say AI could start a "second golden age" in antibiotic discovery.
