Abstract

Lately I've been thinking (and writing) a lot about biosecurity, and its intersection with AI and biotechnology (AIxBio). I.e., how AI might increase the risk that a non-state actor is able to successfully create a biological weapon. I've included some primers on this topic at the end of this post to get up to speed on the topic. The real story is not just what AI can do in a computational benchmark.
