Artificial intelligence‐based prediction of pathogen emergence and evolution in the world of synthetic biology

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2024.
New technology is changing how we monitor and control the evolution of pathogens. AI cannot predict the future but it can help us by looking at how laboratory accidents cause pathogen outbreaks. We also discuss potential epidemic origins based on unusual organisms or associations of organisms that have rarely been highlighted or studied.
