Prof. Regia Barzilay speaks with Kenneth Cukier of The Economist about how she and her colleagues developed a machine learning model that identified a new antibiotic, and how AI techniques could be applied to undercovering treatments for viruses like Covid-19. “My hope is that given the success of the model in the antibacterial space it can be applied to a broader set of diseases,” says Barzilay.
