AI raising biological threats, experts urge stronger biosecurity

Original: AI Is Rapidly Ushering the World into a New Era of Biological Threats Demanding an Incremental Framework to Strengthen Biosecurity.

Georgetown University researchers warn that advances in artificial intelligence are creating a new era of biological threats, and argue that governments must adopt an incremental framework to strengthen biosecurity. They contend existing safeguards are not designed for AI-enabled risks such as easier design or access of dangerous biological agents, and recommend step-by-step policy measures to close gaps before the technology outpaces regulation.

Why now: Rapid AI progress is raising fears about misuse in biology, prompting calls for updated biosecurity policy.
