Lab–grown life has taken a major leap forward as scientists use AI to create a new virus that has never been seen before. The virus, dubbed Evo–Φ2147, was created by scientists from scratch using new ...

Last month, a team of scientists published a high-profile paper describing how they’d taught an AI model to help produce brand-new, deadly viruses. The AI—a “genome-language model” trained on DNA ...

For the first time, artificial intelligence has been used to generate 16 brand-new, previously undetected viruses. These new synthesized viral genomes are unique, and instead of infecting humans, they ...

Scientists have used an AI model to successfully create a virus not found in nature, sparking concerns about potential risks to humans. Although these viruses do not affect humans and target only ...
