David Baker spoke with WIRED en Español about where biological design is headed next and the great potential and risks of taking biology outside the bounds of the natural world. David Baker, a pioneer of protein design, is using AI to go where nature hasn't. The natural world as we know it represents only a fraction of what might exist. Based on this idea, AI BioDesign was born: a scientific project that combines artificial intelligence and large-scale laboratory experiments to design and test new molecules and biological functions that are not found in nature but are physically and chemically possible. In doing so, the researchers are aiming to create databases, models, and tools that could serve as "seeds" for developing the medicines and technologies of the future.

Is the war entering a new phase? Ukraine has launched a barrage of drones on Moscow and other regions as Russia opened polls for its first parliamentary elections since the start of the war. More than 350 Ukrainian drones targeted the Russian capital on Friday morning, Moscow's mayor reported. With the vote potentially offering the Kremlin a measure of the public mood over the invasion, Kyiv has maintained its bid to use air attacks to have Russians feel the impact of the conflict politically, socially and economically. Only political parties that back the war have been registered to run.

Rumman Chowdhury, CEO and founder of the nonprofit Humane Intelligence, understands the concerns expressed by the DSA working group. Chowdhury, who formerly led the machine learning ethics, transparency, and accountability team at Twitter, thinks that all the attention that the AI safety discourse is generating will ultimately be beneficial to frontier labs. "[The companies] grab all the attention, time, energy, and money by spouting really extreme perspectives. But then they actually backtrack to where we sit, all while they discount all of our expertise," she says. "I think it's hard for normal people to think of how the mind of a venture capitalist works and these investors work. The scarier and more fantastic these CEOs make these companies seem, the more investors want in on it."

The Prince of Wales has warned that the world needs to move faster to solve the biggest climate challenges. Speaking exclusively to the BBC, Prince William called for a greater sense of urgency around ways to repair the planet. We're not moving fast enough, William said. We need more businesses, investors and leaders to step up, back what works and help bring these solutions to scale. His warning came as this year's nominees for the Earthshot Prize, the global environmental award he launched six years ago, were unveiled.

Russia's State Duma elections will be held in occupied territories of Ukraine including Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia without OSCE election observers.

British food festivals are being used to target small food and craft businesses in a scam made possible by artificial intelligence (AI). A BBC Wales investigation found dozens of traders received professional-looking emails purporting to be from festivals with any requests for money only coming after multiple emails are exchanged. One trader whose heart sank when she discovered she had lost money, said that despite spotting scams regularly, the multiple emails she exchanged were so realistic that she fell for one. Abergavenny Food Festival said the accessibility of AI meant scammers could reach more people with scams that look far more believable. Harriet Thomas had applied for a stand at the Abergavenny Food Festival on previous years, and was really excited when an email came offering her the opportunity to book a place for her knitting workshops.
