Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc. have released an open-source AI model that can predict the binding strength of small molecules as well as structures of proteins and biomolecular complexes. The model, which is called Boltz-2 and was released by the research team on the developer platform Github on June 6, addresses a major bottleneck in drug discovery with its improved ability to predict binding strengths.

The European Commission is seeking feedback from stakeholders on the oversight of high-risk AI products, one objective of which is to develop a series of guidelines for classification of high-risk AI systems – a consideration of great interest to med-tech firms doing business in the EU.
