Anthropic Says Its AI Bio Lab Has Made Early Progress, but It Has Not Granted Full Autonomous Operation Authority

Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic announced that its newly built AI physics and biology laboratory (Wet Lab) in the San Francisco Bay Area has achieved “significant progress.” However, at the level of experiment operations, human researchers still retain absolute control, and the company has not directly allowed its AI model, Claude, to run autonomously without oversight.

The lab is reportedly focused on fundamental biological research and hands-on validation, aiming to bridge the gap between purely computational simulations and real-world biological experiments. While Anthropic executives have previously issued multiple warnings, emphasizing that powerful AI models could pose extremely severe biosafety risks, even the possibility of human extinction, the company is also accelerating the rollout of AI applications in the life sciences. Eric Kauderer-Abrams, the company’s head of life sciences, said, “Physical validation in a real laboratory will remain irreplaceable for quite a long time,” which is a key motivation behind establishing the lab.

The report highlights that although Anthropic claims the lab has achieved impressive early results, the most striking detail is that the company did not choose to simply let the AI “run wild.” All physical experimental procedures, reagent handling, and data rechecks are still under strict “closed-loop” control by human researchers (Humans in the loop).

Analysts say Anthropic is remaining highly cautious while advancing innovation in biology, reflecting the dual predicament faced by today’s tech giants when pursuing both commercial and research breakthroughs. On one hand, they need to leverage a physical lab to provide validation capabilities for pharmaceutical partners and accelerate efforts to tackle rare diseases. On the other hand, they must address widespread concerns that AI could be misused to create new forms of biological threats. By insisting on retaining human dominance throughout the experimental loop, Anthropic is attempting to establish a compliant boundary for its AI biological research that balances innovation with safety.

Foreigners’ Secondhand Market Finds a Bargain: RTX 5090 Turns Out to Be an Inaugural Signed-By Jensen Huang Global-Unique Edition

Recently, a 3D artist bought an RTX 5090 graphics card at a secondhand market and unexpectedly found a globally unique treasure: an ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 White OC 30th Anniversary Edition, with the card’s backplate bearing NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s handwritten signature.
This 3D artist said that, together with a friend, they bought two RTX 5090 cards from the secondhand market for a 3D project. One of the cards was identified as the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 White OC version. At first, he thought the signature came from some ASUS executive.
