What's in this week's issue?

An AI-meets-biotech company launching Tuesday is releasing a tool to help scientists craft entirely new molecules in a process they say mirrors half a billion years of evolution.

Researchers are pushing hard to try to use AI to create new molecules in order to engineer better medicines, biofuels and materials.

AI tools are now being developed in an effort to more quickly determine a protein's structure, generate biological molecules with enhanced functions and design new gene editors.

EvolutionaryScale — a startup founded by several AI researchers who used to work at Meta — is building a language model similar to those that power AI chatbots that can be prompted to design new proteins.

The world’s biggest record companies are suing the artificial intelligence song generators Suno and Udio for copyright infringement, alleging that the AI music startups are exploiting the recorded works of artists from Chuck Berry to Mariah Carey.

The Recording Industry Association of America announced the lawsuits on Monday, brought by labels including Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group Recordings and Warner Records.

One case was filed in the federal court in Boston against Suno AI, and the other in New York against Uncharted Labs, the developer of Udio AI.
