Evo AI Develops Novel Viruses
A team of scientists has developed a technology using artificial intelligence to design and synthesize biological viruses that do not exist in nature, called "bacteriophages," which target and destroy harmful bacteria without posing risks to humans. The researchers relied on an AI model named "Evo," trained on billions of genetic sequences, which generated over 700,000 designs, of which 16 proved effective in eliminating specific bacterial cells. This technology raises security concerns about its potential use in creating pathogenic agents, especially in the absence of international regulatory frameworks to ensure safety. However, some experts downplay the risks, emphasizing the importance of regulating access to genetic information to prevent misuse.
