AI has demonstrated its capability to design novel viruses from scratch by training on DNA sequences. While these newly designed viruses pose no threat to humans, they could potentially be utilized for medical advancements or, conversely, as biological weapons. This development also extends to the creation of more complex AI-designed life forms. AI
