Since the emergence of the term in the late 20th century, “biosecurity” has had a wide variety of meanings. While biosecurity is fundamental to the work of NTI | bio, we have not explicitly laid out our definition of biosecurity — until now.
A pandemic is not a once in a century event, and the international community must prepare now for the next one. It is essential the international community strike a balance between fostering and supporting beneficial AIxBio innovation while guarding against accidental or deliberate misuse of these tools.
AI biodesign tools offer many beneficial uses, from engineered crops to vaccine development, but tools that can engineer biological agents could also be misused to cause harm.
NTI | bio convened two technical working groups this fall to address critical challenges at the intersection of AI and the life sciences, bringing together more than 50 international experts from major AI companies, academic institutions, and biosecurity organizations.
How do we harness AI's immense potential without exacerbating risks? How does AI impact the nature of warfare? And how will it shape the future of human decision-making?
If you want to learn more about Oppenheimer’s bomb and what we must do to protect the world today and for future generations, NTI’s online library is the perfect place to go.
Artificial Intelligence has many potential applications and consequences for strategic risk. Here is NTI’s work on it so far.

What happens “if we can’t rely on the information we have,” asks Christopher Painter, former top U.S. cyber diplomat. In an NTI seminar on January 25, Painter posed this critical question and discussed a range of issues at the intersection of cyber and nuclear security.
"It’s always difficult to adapt to new technologies, but the pace of development is so high that our organizations struggle to adapt."
