Even if one had genuine artificial intelligence, it would be impossible to detect all viruses, only particular viruses and classes of virus.
If Java is secure, virus scanning should be unnecessary, indeed impossible, because there could be no code configuration capable of acting as a virus.
If virus scanning occurs, then it is possible to write a virus in Java, then Java is inherently insecure.
