New AI-generated viruses spark biosafety fears

New technology to create synthetic viruses that do not exist in nature with artificial intelligence is scaring biosafety experts, who worry that the process could spark the next global pandemic.  Manipulating the genetic structure of naturally occurring viruses is not new, but using AI to create entirely new viruses po

Developing new bacteriophages could lead to new ways of treating infections that have become resistant to antibiotics, the researchers said.
