Scientists in the United Kingdom will soon use artificial intelligence (AI) to combat the rising threat of infections that are resistant to treatment. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when pathogens such as bacteria or viruses evolve to the point where they can evade existing drugs, making infections harder to treat. People speed up this process by overusing antibiotics in health care and farming. An estimated one in six lab-confirmed bacterial infections are now resistant to antibiotics,
