As breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and biotechnology outpace global governance, the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and The Elders are launching a new intergenerational initiative to generate the ideas and leadership needed for a safer future against biological threats.
With AIxBio tools advancing faster than many experts predicted, new AIxBio Horizon Scan provides early insights to support stronger safety, security, and governance decisions.
The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) announces the appointment of Jake Jordan, PhD as vice president of Global Biological Policy & Programs (NTI | bio). In this role, Jordan will lead NTI's portfolio of biosecurity projects and advance innovative approaches to strengthen biotechnology governance, reduce the risk of bioweapon development and use, and build global health security capacities.
The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) joined world leaders and policymakers at the 2026 Munich Security Conference (MSC), where NTI President and CEO Christine E. Wormuth and colleagues hosted events focused on reducing nuclear, biological, and emerging technology threats imperiling humanity.
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.
