Inteligența Artificială creează viruși noi care nu există în natură

Scientists at Stanford University have successfully used artificial intelligence to create 16 synthetic viruses that do not exist in nature, raising both excitement and biosecurity concerns. These viruses, known as bacteriophages, target bacteria like E. coli, which poses a significant threat due to antibiotic resistance. The AI model, EVO 2, generated new DNA sequences to combat this issue, leading to the identification of viable phages that could enhance antibiotic treatments. While the innovation holds promise, experts warn about potential misuse and call for stricter oversight and legal frameworks to ensure safety in future research.
