The AI problem nobody saw coming: AI can now design working viruses from scratch.

Researchers used AI models to generate hundreds of thousands of candidate viral genomes. 16 turned out to be functional in the lab and some performed better than the natural viruses they were modeled after.

The technology worked. The bigger question is what happens when AI capabilities move faster than the rules designed to govern them.

Frank Satterwhite breaks down what happened, why the researchers built safeguards into the models, and why experts are warning about the growing AI biosecurity gap.
