Multisectoral collaboration is a fundamental requirement for stronger health security.
NTI President and CEO Christine E. Wormuth joins fellow leaders in calling on U.S. policymakers to act with urgency and establish clear national standards for DNA synthesis screening.
The convergence of artificial intelligence and the life sciences continues to accelerate. The AIxBio Horizon Scan: Spring 2026 shows that while individual advances may seem incremental, their combined trajectory is significant. Progress is outpacing governance frameworks.
As global resources become more constrained, evidence-based tools that guide investments toward maximum impact are more important than ever. This World Health Day, the WHO urges the world to embrace evidence, support science-led solutions, and advance global cooperation to turn evidence into action.
Disney Channel’s The Luck of the Irish reminds us that failing to safeguard a powerful asset—whether a magical lucky coin or advanced emerging technology—can lead to disaster. Strengthening AIxBio governance is about building guardrails to accelerate innovation and safeguards to prevent harm.
The convergence of artificial intelligence and the life sciences is reshaping what’s possible in biology, delivering major advances–ranging from accelerating vaccine discovery to advancing new tools for mitigating the effects of climate change–and new risks. NTI | bio’s AIxBio Horizon Scan looks ahead to where AIxBio capabilities are headed over the coming years.
