    AI-Designed Proteins: A Stealth Threat to Biosecurity

    AI-designed proteins pose a new biosecurity threat by creating novel toxic agents that evade current DNA synthesis screening systems, which rely on databases of known threats. Current biosurveillance scans commercial DNA orders for sequences matching known hazardous agents, but this method is ine...
