Can AI design new life forms? In 2025, Stanford University PhD student Samuel King came up with a preliminary answer when he used a generative AI model to propose genetic blueprints for microscopic viruses. It isn’t yet an example of AI-generated life, but that could be next. Watch as senior AI reporter James O’Donnell interviews King about his work, being named one of MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35 and new ways of seeing biology.
