AI-designed vaccine ‘could prevent pandemics before they begin’

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to develop a 'super-antigen' vaccine capable of protecting against entire families of viruses. This proactive approach aims to prevent future pandemics by targeting essential viral structures rather than specific strains.
Why it matters
This technology represents a paradigm shift in vaccine development, potentially moving from reactive responses to preemptive, universal protection.
New vaccine technology created with the help of artificial intelligence could provide immunity against whole families of viruses and protect people from any future mutations through a single jab, according to scientists.
The article provides a scientific overview of the technology and its potential benefits without ideological framing.
