AI Creates First Viable Viruses—They Successfully Attacked Bacteria in Lab Tests
A US research group reported that AI models specifically trained for genome design have produced fully functional virus genomes. In laboratory tests, 16 of these artificial viruses proved viable, infecting and destroying target bacteria. The work, based on the well-studied phage ΦX174, used genomic language models Evo 1 and Evo 2.
