Because before without AI you couldn't solve complex protein folding tasks. And even first versions already allowed military labs to test only thousands of candidates instead of tens of millions.
I think it's been around since the 1960s and weaponized over time. This was planned for quite some time.
Interesting video, thanks.
But the core thing remain - to make immune resistant SARS they required AI assistance. If you look for different SARS strains - big difference had been not just protein itself, but different folding that allowed to hide certain parts from previous strain. Another issue is the flu - flu spreading stopped during SARS, and all existing theories on how flu originates and spreads couldn't tell why. And only real answer is that flu also had been made and spread artificially.
