More →Citrini partnered with Claude to research scorpion venom and identify new investment opportunities.
Citrini Research, in collaboration with Anthropic, had Claude attempt to design proteins resistant to scorpion venom, with the aim of identifying new investment opportunities. Citrini began covering the life sciences sector in June of this year, and in February published the "2028 Global Intelligence Crisis" report, which envisioned AI replacing white-collar workers on a large scale and triggering an economic recession. The team used Claude to generate approximately 320,000 protein designs, narrowed them down to 180 candidates, and ultimately found 17 proteins capable of binding to the target scorpion venom. Citrini found that as AI accelerates drug design, more candidate molecules need to be sent to laboratories for synthesis, testing, and validation, and therefore it is bullish on companies that provide experimental outsourcing and testing equipment to pharmaceutical firms.

Goldman Sachs: AI could temporarily replace 9% of the workforce
CoinWorld news, Goldman Sachs said AI could temporarily displace about 9% of the workforce during the transition period. Goldman Sachs estimates that the 15% productivity boost brought by AI will lead to higher unemployment, with each 1% increase in productivity raising the unemployment rate by 0.3-0.4 percentage points, and this effect typically diminishes within two years. Historical research shows that occupations hit hard by technology typically lose 25% of their jobs within five years. Goldman Sachs warned that AI-related layoffs could accelerate during an economic downturn, further exacerbating weakness in the labor market.
