AI can now design more deadly virus genomes

WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD…

Especially those that are so happy to become zombies using everything else exept their own brain!

Scientists have for the first time ever successfully used artificial intelligence (AI) to redesign functional viruses. This has resulted in previously unknown virus variants that specialize in bacteria, known as phages. Some of the properties of these AI viruses are superior to those of previously known phages. In the experiment, the scientists did not just alter individual DNA segments, but the entire genetic material of the virus was rewritten and redesigned. The experiments raise serious questions about the risks to health and the environment.

“: Inject this synthetic phage into E. coli and it kills better than the real thing…”
