Reuters reports Anthropic has set up a biological wet lab in the Bay Area and plans to have Claude command robotic lab equipment.
- Life sciences lead Eric Kauderer-Abrams says AI-automated experiment execution is still in early stages.

A notable signal of frontier labs extending AI from data analysis to directly driving real-world experiments.
