AI Chatbots Pose Biosecurity Risks by Providing Biological Weapon Instructions
Biosecurity experts have raised concerns about artificial intelligence chatbots providing instructions for creating biological weapons. According to a New York Times report, AI models have been found to describe how to acquire genetic material, assemble dangerous pathogens, and spread biological agents. While a major biological attack remains unlikely, experts warn that AI could lower the barrier for individuals with scientific training or malicious intent. The report highlights instances where AI chatbots have provided guidance on altering pathogens and deploying them in public spaces, raising alarms about the potential misuse of AI technology.
