AI‑designed viruses are a test of whether biosecurity can keep pace
Scientists have crossed an important line in biological engineering. In a recent study, researchers used artificial intelligence to design complete sets of genetic instructions for bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria. Some of those computer-generated designs produced working viruses when they were built and tested in the laboratory.
We haven't written up this one. Phys.org has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
