AI Could One Day Engineer a Pandemic, Experts Warn
Briefly

Specialized AI models trained on biological data show great promise for advancements in health and agriculture, yet they carry significant risks of misuse, necessitating oversight.
Experts emphasize the need for mandatory oversight for advanced biological models to prevent potential future risks, especially the engineering of harmful pathogens.
The authors point out that while current AI models do not heavily contribute to biological risk, there exists a potential for future models to engineer dangerous pathogens.
Anita Cicero stresses the importance of establishing governance systems now to mitigate risks associated with advanced AI tools in biological research.
