Scientists fed AI models with DNA libraries and asked them to generate recipes for viral genomes. Sixteen of the results were viable, meaning new viruses were born.
Artificial intelligence was used for the first time to create synthetic viruses that do not exist in nature, in an experiment considered a reference point for synthetic biology. Researchers say that technology could accelerate the development of treatments against antibiotic resistant bacteria, but experts warn that it also opens up new challenges related to biosecurity and biosecurity, Financial Times announces.
Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to create new types of viruses, a first. This technology raises hopes for medical progress while raising the troubling possibility that it may one day be used to invent dangerous pathogens.
Synthetic Viruses Offer New Hope for Treatment Researchers Use Algorithms to Design Viral Genomes in a Breakthrough That Could Shape the Future of Combating Antibiotic Resistance Monday, August 10, 2026 Washington – American researchers have successfully employed artificial intelligence techniques to design microscopic viruses capable of attacking, infecting, and eliminating bacteria. This scientific development could pave the way for new treat…
