The Virus Factory: A Double Edged Breakthrough in Synthetic Biology Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in synthetic biology by using artificial intelligence to create 16 new viruses capable of infecting and eliminating certain types of bacteria.
This development has sparked both excitement and trepidation, as it raises questions about the potential misuse of this technology.
The creation of these novel viruses involves more than just tweaking existing codes; it requires building a new tool from scratch.
