NTI | bio convened global experts for the 2025 Biosecurity Innovation Risk Reduction Initiative (BIRRI) meeting to discuss safeguarding rapidly advancing bioscience and biotechnology capabilities, focusing on three key areas: DNA synthesis screening, safeguarding AIxBio capabilities, and guarding against mirror life risks.
More than 35 leading experts highlight the risks posed by rapidly advancing capabilities at the convergence of AI and the life sciences and call on governments, industry, the scientific community, and funders to take action to safeguard this technology.
NTI experts are providing context and helping the public understand these fast-moving developments as they happen.
The cycle of military attack and reprisal is once again dangerously in play in the Middle East. It must be broken before escalation, combined with increasingly destructive technology, one day precludes any hope of peace and security for the region.
NTI is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Dean as vice president of the Global Nuclear Policy Program.
