## Startup deploys AI-engineered virus
Radical Numerics published a technical paper claiming successful use of ai-engineered virus to treat bacterial infection in human patient.
## Research lacks peer review
The study was self-published without peer review and clinical details were withheld due to patient confidentiality concerns.
## Experts remain skeptical
Harvard microbiologist Michael Baym called the research 'incredible' but expressed skepticism about its effectiveness.
## Key takeaway

Radical Numerics claims AI-engineered virus successfully treated bacterial infection in human patient, but research lacks peer review and clinical details.
