Researchers at the University of Liverpool developed a machine learning system to predict bird flu spillover [1]. The model identifies specific protein motifs that signal a risk of human infection [1]. It currently operates with 91.9% accuracy, offering a new tool for pandemic prevention [1]. Traditional methods often overlook these subtle genetic markers [1]. This AI-driven approach provides a faster way to monitor evolving avian influenza strains globally [1]. Scientists believe this technology could significantly improve early warning systems [1].
