Computers and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been used in therapeutic designing of new molecules for drug discovery, to improve human health for over decades. It has come to light that this technology comes with challenges that makes us question its security implications which lead us into computational proof of the concept for making novel biochemical weapons. Researchers exploring this aspect revealed that their AI Model generated 40,000 new molecules along with the known VX under 6 hours when screened for developing molecules with high LD50 threshold. This is a “wake up” call to AI drug discovery community to implement steps against the misuse of technology and remain diligent against the potential for dual use.
