The Rising Threat of AI in Bioweapons Development

In recent years, the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to remarkable achievements across various cognitive tasks, sparking both excitement and concern within scientific and technological communities. While many examine the potential of AI to make life easier or enhance productivity, there is a less talked-about risk that has emerged: the misuse of AI to facilitate biological threats. Companies like Prime Intellect are at the forefront of addressing this pressing issue, notably focusing on how AI can enable bad actors to develop bioweapons, such as potential pandemics similar to COVID-19.
