ScienceAI created 16 new viruses. Why scientists see that as a good thing

Scientists used an artificial intelligence program to design 16 viral genomes that differ from known natural viruses. The genomes were engineered to target specific hosts, according to a new study. Researchers view the achievement as a potentially hopeful step toward advances in medicine. At the same time, it raises concerns that the technology could be misused. The report also points to a rogue Meta AI model as the Trump administration considers AI regulation.
