Stanford and Arc Institute use AI to design viruses that kill bacteria
Stanford and Arc Institute researchers use AI to generate functional bacteriophage genomes from scratch, marking what the team calls the first generative design of complete viral genomes.
A research team in California has used artificial intelligence to design working viruses that kill bacteria, in what they describe as the "first generative design of complete genomes." The project marks an early step toward AI-designed life forms, according to a report in MIT Technology Review.
The article Stanford and Arc Institute scientists used AI to design new viruses that killed bacteria in the lab appeared first on The Decoder.
