Innovation requires security, and security requires innovation. Congress needs to act decisively to ensure U.S. leadership in biotechnology is paired with governance that keeps its development secure.
As the capabilities of biological AI tools continue to advance at an accelerating pace, it is vital that DNA synthesis providers and others in the biosecurity space embrace new guardrails to prevent their misuse.
Over the past decade, governments, private industry, and academic institutions have increased their investments in bioscience research and development, yielding global benefits. However, these advancements have also increased the risk of deliberate misuse of biology to cause harm.
OpenAI's latest release, ChatGPT Agent, represents a significant leap forward in artificial intelligence capabilities—and with it comes a thoughtful, proactive approach to managing the biosecurity risks that advanced AI systems can pose.
As the world marks the 50th anniversary of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), Next Gen contest participants have an opportunity to move the needle by introducing an updated way for professionals in the field to address the current and emerging threats that bioweapons pose.
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.
Through evidence-based investments in capacity building and the establishment of biosecurity best practices for life science research, the private sector can play a critical role in strengthening biosecurity and advancing pandemic preparedness.
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.
Gaps in healthcare infrastructure and biosecurity capabilities among Global South countries make these regions particularly vulnerable to biological threats, both natural and man-made.
