Researchers have created a computer worm named 'Morris II' that can manipulate generative artificial intelligence systems to perform malicious tasks by constantly replicating and infecting new systems, spreading and executing destructive actions specifically targeting the generative AI ecosystem and agent interconnect networks. The researchers warn that such attacks could impact fields like smartphones and automobiles.

Harvard Medical School and the University of Oxford have collaborated to develop the EVEscape AI tool, which accurately predicts virus variants, including COVID-19. This tool has the capability to predict signs of viral mutations and the effectiveness of antibody therapies, and it can also forecast mutation trajectories for viruses such as HIV and influenza. EVEscape combines generative models with detailed biological information to make early predictions about virus variants. The research team releases a list of the most likely new virus variants every two weeks, broadening the tool's coverage to address more unstudied pathogens.
