For less than $100,000, it may now be possible to use artificial intelligence to develop a virus that could kill millions of people.
It wouldn't cost more to create a pathogen that's capable of killing hundreds of millions of people versus a pathogen that's only capable of killing hundreds of thousands of people.
In contrast, he noted, it could cost billions of dollars to produce a new vaccine or antiviral in response.
They would be capable of orders of magnitude more damage today, Matheny said.
