Exploring the risks of AI in facilitating large-scale biological attacks and the crucial need for regulations and preemptive measures to safeguard against misuse in bioengineering.
AI has been a powerful accelerant for biological research, rapidly opening up new frontiers in medicine and public health. But that progress can also make it easier for bad actors to manufacture new biological threats. In this episode, Tristan and Daniel sit down with biologist Kevin Esvelt to discuss why AI has been such a boon for biologists and how we can safeguard society against the threats that AIxBio poses.
