Scientists have reportedly used artificial intelligence to design entirely new viruses. The researchers trained an AI model in a controlled environment to generate original DNA sequences by analysing the genetic patterns of naturally occurring viruses, rather than copying known DNA sequences. With the new AI-designed sequences that were generated in the lab, the scientists formed new viruses that can infect bacteria. Here’s everything we know about the new virus made by AI and what scientists think about it. Following that the scientists created the DNA sequences in the lab and put them into bacteria.
