It was surprising to me to learn that we can be _a lot_ faster than evolution when it comes to 'improving' viruses. The process is called gain-of-function. It can create mutations that are rare or impossible in nature. Viruses don't select for devastation on their own, they select only for propagation We will no doubt be able to use AI to develop vaccines that isn't the bottleneck, the bottleneck is in testing and distribution (and humans not wanting to get vaccinated). It's a fundamentally asymmetrical situation
