AI Designs New Viruses to Kill Superbugs | Hattiesburg News

from Hattiesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scientists at Stanford used AI to design entirely new, never-before-seen viruses that can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria—outsmarting even the toughest superbugs. Trained on millions of viral genomes, the AI created 16 functional bacteriophages that wiped out resistant E. coli strains where natural viruses failed. This breakthrough could revolutionize infection control, but it also raises urgent biosecurity concerns as the same tech could be weaponized.
