MIT Technology Review to interview researcher who used AI to design viruses
What happened
On October 9, MIT Technology Review reported that Stanford PhD student Samuel King used generative AI models to design genetic blueprints for microscopic viruses. The report stresses this is not yet AI-generated life, but may be the next step toward it. Senior AI reporter James O'Donnell will hold an online conversation with King on October 16 about his work and his selection for Innovators Under 35. Only the event's scheduling has been announced; it has not yet taken place.
