Researchers at the Arc Institute in Palo Alto used artificial intelligence to design novel viral genomes not found in nature, marking what they describe as a first in generative biology. The AI system was trained on existing viral DNA structures, then tasked with creating new viral sequences. The achievement underscores both the potential and risks of applying machine learning to biological design.
