Scientists at the University of Cambridge made the first vaccine designed by artificial intelligence. They tested it in people and the first test went well. The vaccine aims to protect against viruses in one virus family. That family includes SARS and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID. The vaccine uses a plan that looks ahead at future changes in the viruses. It also does not use a needle. Instead, it uses a special spray system. The first test had 39 people. A second test with 200 people is now under way. The first test looked at safety. The vaccine made a small immune response in people. Scientists say it still needs much more testing.
