Scientists have designed and created new viruses using artificial intelligence. These AI-designed bacteriophages successfully replicated and killed E. coli bacteria. This breakthrough marks a significant advancement in synthetic biology and potential medical applications. The technology could aid in developing new treatments for antibiotic-resistant infections.

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

New York Times: Scientists trained an AI model called Evo using libraries of DNA.
