Scientists Used AI to Create 16 New Viruses
A research team in California has used artificial intelligence to design working viruses that kill bacteria, in what they describe as the "first generative design of complete genomes." The project marks an early step toward AI-designed life forms, according to a report in MIT Technology Review. The
