AI For the First Time Creates Viruses That Work in Real Life
Scientists from Stanford* reported a major breakthrough: artificial intelligence has for the first time designed viable viruses.
❗️However, these are not dangerous pathogens but bacteriophages — viruses that attack only bacteria. In the lab, they were able to destroy resistant strains of E. coli that natural counterparts could not handle.
This could become a serious step toward creating new treatments for antibiotic-resistant infections.

🤓 — No, some technologies are better left undeveloped
- The organization's activities are deemed undesirable on the territory of the Russian Federation.
