Scientists used an artificial intelligence program to create new viral genomes that are different from any known natural viruses and that targeted specific hosts, according to a new study. The development is a hopeful step toward medical advances, but it also raises concerns around the potential for misuse.

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