✅ ❌ No, we couldn't find enough information regarding this on authoritative news outlets. However, here's what we found:

None of the major, authoritative news outlets found via web search indicate current scientific projects or serious, peer-reviewed proposals to use artificial intelligence or genetic engineering to "resurrect" Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis). The scientific discussions and real-world projects are focused on species like the woolly mammoth, thylacine, dodo, and moa, not Neanderthals. There is no evidence in mainstream science journalism that de-extinction of humans (even extinct close relatives like Neanderthals) is actively or credibly being pursued by leading research organizations.

Instead, major outlets and science news sources—including those directly cited in the search results—are focused on the de-extinction of non-human megafauna, with companies like Colossal Biosciences leading the way in genetically reviving animals such as the woolly mammoth, dire wolf, dodo, and moa.

Here are some relevant findings:

1. https://colossal.com/colossal-biosciences-merges-artificial-intelligence-with-showbiz-to-revive-extinct-species/ (Trust Score 6/10) — Colossal Biosciences is using AI and genetic tech to target extinct species like the woolly mammoth and Tasmanian tiger, not Neanderthals.

2. https://phys.org/news/2025-04-resurrect-extinct-animals-tech-lookalikes.html (Trust Score 7/10) — Discusses de-extinction science using animals like woolly mammoths and dire wolves, but not Neanderthals. No mention of human relatives in current projects.

3. https://www.livescience.com/animals/extinct-species/were-bringing-back-avian-dinosaurs-de-extinction-company-claims-it-will-resurrect-the-giant-moa-in-next-10-years (Trust Score 8/10) — Details Colossal Biosciences’ plans for birds and mammals like the moa, woolly mammoth, and dodo, but again, Neanderthals are not mentioned as a target.

Summary:

While there is extensive news coverage about using AI and genetic engineering to revive extinct animals, especially by Colossal Biosciences, there is no credible reporting from major outlets supporting claims of projects—scientific or otherwise—to resurrect Neanderthals. The commentary suggesting that AI is being used (or should be used) to revive Neanderthals currently lacks support in authoritative news or scientific literature.
