AI-Designed Viruses: Cure or Catastrophe?

AI is now capable of designing entire viral genomes from scratch—think digital blueprints for viruses that could either revolutionize medicine or create new biosecurity nightmares. While bacteriophages built by AI might help defeat antibiotic-resistant infections, the same tech could be misused to bypass DNA safety checks. Should we be more excited about the medical breakthroughs, or worried about the risks of AI-powered bioweapons? Where do we draw the line? #Tech #AI #Biosecurity
