The debate over COVID-19’s origins misses a bigger threat: AI and genetic engineering could enable the creation of new, more dangerous pathogens. These technologies, meant to revolutionize medicine, now also pose serious risks for misuse. The Hill 1/5 thehill.com/opinion/health…

Nice paper on virtual cell building with AI. 3 key scales – molecular, cellular, and multicellular. Components include universal representations for biological state representation, and 'virtual instruments' to manipulate or decode these representations. Would love to see a
