Researchers employ AI to develop new viruses
The study of artificial intelligence technology in creating new viral genomes that differ from any natural viruses has been conducted, aimed at developing effective treatments to combat drug resistance and reduce bacterial resistance. Scientists from Stanford University and the "Arc" Institute were able to generate thousands of genomic combinations using artificial intelligence, and about 300 of these were tested in the laboratory. Among them, 16 were viable viruses that infect bacteria without affecting humans. The results showed that some of these new viruses successfully overcame bacterial antibiotic resistance, opening the possibility of developing tailored phage therapies to address rapidly evolving diseases. Despite the significance of this breakthrough, researchers emphasized the importance of biological safety and regulating the use of such technologies to prevent misuse, especially given the potential risks of developing viruses capable of infecting humans or animals.
