This paper introduces a framing of "differential technology development" – affecting the relative timing of new innovations to reduce a specific risk. For instance, it may be beneficial to delay or halt risk-increasing technologies and preferentially advance risk-reducing defensive, safety, or substitute technologies. As you read, consider how you might apply this framing to biosecurity risks associated with developments in AI and biotechnology (this week's pre-class exercise).
