NTI | bio experts will take part in several GHS2026 sessions, including a preview of findings from the forthcoming Africa Health Security (AHS) Index and a timely discussion on strengthening health security partnerships amid declining resources.
The Summit can produce outcomes that strengthen U.S. national security and reduce global nuclear and biological risks
Amid rapid advances in bioscience and as artificial intelligence reshapes global technological capabilities, the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association (CACDA) are jointly calling for action to strengthen biosecurity and oversight and engage in responsible practices to prevent accidents or misuse.
NTI endorses the bipartisan Biosecurity Modernization and Innovation Act of 2026, led by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). This bill creates an important opportunity to incentivize a safe and secure U.S. bioeconomy through strengthened biosecurity policy.
New NTI | bio paper calls on tool developers and other AIxBio stakeholders to implement a managed access approach—allowing only validated users to access those biological AI models that contribute to biosecurity risks—to help reduce the risk that such tools will be deliberately misused to cause harm.
