We urgently need public attention and scrutiny on this research.
This represents a dangerous new frontier for gain-of-function research. AI-assisted genome design could make the engineering and enhancement of viruses dramatically faster and more sophisticated. It is not a leap to anticipate the application of this technology to to human pathogens. After the enormous consequences of dangerous GoF research in recent years—and the genetic injection assault that followed—we cannot afford to allow this technology to advance.
I would like to thank my friend and colleague Nic Hulscher for bringing this recent study to our attention. Please share this alert. We urgently need public attention and scrutiny on this research.
