Summary
This paper examines the intersection of artificial intelligence and biosecurity, arguing that AI capabilities in biological research create novel risks that require dedicated governance frameworks. It analyzes how AI tools could be misused to design pathogens or accelerate bioweapon development, and calls for regulatory and policy responses to manage these dual-use dangers.
Key Points
- •AI systems capable of protein design, drug discovery, and genomic analysis create significant dual-use biosecurity risks.
- •Current biosecurity governance frameworks were not designed with AI capabilities in mind and require substantial updating.
- •The paper calls for international coordination and new regulatory mechanisms to govern AI applications in biology.
- •Balancing legitimate scientific progress in AI-driven biology against misuse potential is a central governance challenge.
- •Highlights the urgency of proactive policy action before AI-enabled biosecurity threats materialize at scale.
