AI 剛設計出 16 種功能性病毒 —— 沒人知道該如何監管
史丹佛和 arc 研究所的研究人員利用 evo 1/2 模型設計了 16 種新的功能性噬菌體。這證明了 ai 可以設計生物物質，繞過自然進化並引發雙重用途的擔憂。
a study published in science by stanford and arc institute scientists details the creation of the first functional viruses designed entirely by ai, bypassing millions of years of natural evolution. using evo 1 and evo 2—foundational models trained on millions of genomic sequences—the team generated 300 synthetic genomes, of which 16 successfully infected and replicated within e. coli bacteria. these ai-generated bacteriophages exhibited distinct genetic architectures and varying replication rates compared to natural variants. this demonstrates that ai is no longer just analyzing biology but actively inventing it, creating a massive gap between technological capability and existing regulatory frameworks for biosecurity and dual-use research.
