AI in Biosecurity: Threats and Governance
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming biological research through various models and tools. General-purpose large language models can retrieve scientific information and support experiments, while biological foundation models predict and generate genetic sequences. AI systems also coordinate tasks and operate automated laboratories. These advancements promise benefits in medicine and…
