Read MoreToday’s chatbots aren’t likely to help lone actors invent a deadly pathogen, experts say. But newer models, trained in biology, may need stronger safeguards.
Read MoreEven the most adept researchers may not know exactly what they do to get successful results. An A.I. model is trying to figure it out by watching every move.
Read MoreScientists trained artificial intelligence on libraries of DNA and then asked the model to create recipes for viral genomes. Sixteen of them were viable, yielding new viruses.
