According to the publication, biochemist and former UN weapons inspector Rocco Casagrande turned to the chatbot for help last year. Casagrande's friend, who developed the new AI, asked it to check how safe the new program was.

And the scientist came to a disappointing conclusion: artificial intelligence ultimately helped the scientist create a deadly virus.

When the scientist visited the White House with his results, it became an alarm bell for the American authorities.

The Washington administration is believed to have realized how unprepared the country really is for the potential threat posed by artificial intelligence.
