Scientists trained artificial intelligence on libraries of DNA and then asked the model to create recipes for viral genomes. Sixteen of them were viable, yielding new viruses.

Scientists are worried about how smart DNA-trained artificial intelligence models could get—and that they could become a weapon in biological warfare.

Researchers say breakthrough offers hope for new medicines but also raises urgent biosecurity questions

Studio pubblicato su Science si basa sulla rielaborazione del Dna che si trova in natura

The AI system makes genetically distant versions of a bacteria-killing virus.

The results have inspired equal parts hope and terror about the future of AI-inflected biology
