Summary
The AIxBio Global Forum is an NTI (Nuclear Threat Initiative) project addressing the intersection of artificial intelligence and biological risks, bringing together global stakeholders to develop governance frameworks and safety measures for AI applications in the life sciences. It focuses on preventing the misuse of AI tools that could enable the creation or enhancement of biological threats. The forum seeks to build international consensus and policy recommendations around this emerging risk area.
Key Points
- •Addresses the dual-use risks of AI applied to biology, including potential misuse for bioweapon development or pandemic pathogen enhancement.
- •Convenes international experts, policymakers, and industry representatives to develop shared governance norms and safeguards.
- •Part of NTI's broader mission on weapons of mass destruction prevention, extended to cover AI-enabled biosecurity threats.
- •Aims to produce actionable policy recommendations and international coordination mechanisms for AI-bio risk governance.
- •Represents a concrete institutional effort to bridge AI safety and biosecurity communities at a global level.

## Facilitating international governance to reduce biosecurity risks at the convergence of AI and the life sciences.
#### Challenge
Rapid advances in AI and its convergence with the life sciences present new biosecurity risks that require innovative solutions and action by governments, technologists and other key stakeholders around the world.
#### Action
Provide a global forum to develop a shared understanding of AI-related biosecurity risks and technical solutions to address them. Promote adoption of national and global governance for AIxBio capabilities.
#### Results
Adoption and implementation of effective governance frameworks and best practices that enable beneficial applications of AI in the life sciences while reducing biosecurity risks.

The AIxBio Global Forum provides a platform for international experts, policymakers, and other key stakeholders to identify and reduce biosecurity risks associated with the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the life sciences.
The Forum has three main objectives:
- Develop a shared understanding of biosecurity risks associated with AI
- Support development and dissemination of tools and practices to protect the beneficial application of AIxBio capabilities while guarding against risks
- Promote adoption of national and global governance mechanisms for AIxBio capabilities
To achieve these goals, the Forum includes a diverse international group of policy makers along with experts from organizations that develop AI models, biosecurity and AI safety communities, and the bioscience research community. Technical Working Groups enable the Forum to identify best practices and develop technical guardrails to reduce risks that AIxBio capabilities will be misused. This work is aligned with
