MIT Technology Review Interviews Creator of AI-Designed Viruses
Original: Roundtables: A Conversation With the Creator of AI-Designed Viruses
MIT Technology Review is hosting a roundtable conversation with the scientist behind viruses designed using artificial intelligence. The discussion explores how AI tools are now being used to engineer viruses, a development that raises sharp questions about biosecurity, the risks of misuse, and the boundaries of synthetic biology research. Readers are weighing how close science is to AI-designed pathogens and what safeguards are needed.
Why now: AI-designed viruses touch on urgent biosecurity concerns, and the rarity of hearing directly from the scientist doing it is drawing attention.
