Oh, yeah

...

it had AI riff on a whole bunch of different derivatives of this virus and created a brand new virus that didn't exist before, right? So this is a virus that only infects bacteria.

It's not gonna harm people.

But fundamentally, um, and the people who did it, did it 'cause they wanted to know, can we do this? Is it possible to create something de novo, something new? So it was driven by genuine interest of theirs, right? But the challenge now is h- what is it to prevent somebody with nefarious goals from going and doing something like that, that might cause a virus that could harm crops or harm people or, or, uh, you know, have a negative impact, right? Uh, and I, I think that there...

we have some challenges there, n- not with the intent of the people who did that study, but with the potential outcomes of it.

And those-- that's an area that we haven't had to deal with in the same way previously because the tools just weren't there.

That's a, that's a social science problem rather than it is a technology issue, and I, I, I think a lot of the time AI might help us to bridge those gaps.
