AI-Generated Viruses: Researchers Create Infectious Pathogens Using Artificial Intelligence and Warn of Risks
AI-Generated Viruses Created From Scratch Researchers have generated fully functional, infectious viral entities using artificial intelligence, sparking urgent safety discussions across the scientific community regarding the dual-use nature of advanced biological design tools. The development centers on bacteriophages—viruses that exclusively target and infect bacteria—constructed entirely from computer-generated genetic code rather than isolated natural samples. While … Read more
