FirstFT: US scientists use AI to create first synthetic viruses
Scientists have created the first fully functional viruses designed by artificial intelligence – a breakthrough they believe could pave the way for new treatments for infections that no longer respond to antibiotics.
In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, scientists explained how they were able to train an OpenAI generative model named Evo to design fully functional viral genomes from scratch.
