Scientists used AI to create 16 new viruses that never existed in nature; they worked and now experts fear how the technology could be used
Researchers have successfully used artificial intelligence to design entirely new viruses. These laboratory-tested viruses function as intended and do not exist in nature. This breakthrough could accelerate treatments for bacterial infections and advance biological engineering. However, experts warn that stronger safeguards are urgently needed for this technology. The development highlights AI's growing capabilities and potential risks.
