AI used to engineer antibacterial viruses, but experts warn of biosafety risks
Scientists have used artificial intelligence to engineer bacteriophages — viruses that attack bacteria — hoping to develop new treatments for antibiotic-resistant infections. The research raises hopes for tackling one of medicine's growing crises, but experts are warning of significant biosafety risks associated with AI-designed pathogens. The work could open new therapeutic avenues but requires strict oversight.
