Artificial Intelligence used to design brand new viruses
Artificial Intelligence has been used to design brand new viruses that are fully functional and can replicate in the laboratory, say US researchers. It is the first time whole genomes have been successfully designed by AI. The resulting 16 novel viruses were created to infect bacteria and pose no threat to people.
The breakthrough has been labelled a "very significant turning point" in science that could unlock a new era for treating disease. But experts have also warned AI-designed viruses raise "urgent" safety and security concerns.
AI tools are rapidly advancing and have already been used to design new antibiotics. But that is relatively simple compared with designing a new viable virus from scratch.

Re: Artificial intelligence
I decided to use Google AI to help me introduce my cats after letting them out together wasn’t leading to progress. At first I was impressed, but now it’s making stupid mistakes. And even though I have a Google account that I’m logged into, I have to keep the window open or I have to start over.
