@ai.and.automations: 🤯 AI has now demonstrated something that sounds like science fiction: researchers used an AI model to design new viral genomes that didn't previously exist in nature, and some produced functioning viruses in experiments. The research focused on bacteriophages that infect bacteria rather than humans, and the work was conducted with safety restrictions. The potential upside is enormous - AI could eventually help researchers design new tools for tackling antibiotic-resistant bacteria. But the same capability raises serious questions about biological safety and how we govern increasingly powerful AI systems. Are we ready for AI that can design biology? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Biology #Science #Evo #Biotech #BioAI #AntibioticResistance #Technology #AIResearch #FutureTech #TechNews #MachineLearning #Innovation
