   AI as critical tool amid evolving biosecurity threats

   Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs say shifting natural ecosystems, global travel and potential AI misuse require greater vigilance as the global biosecurity landscape changes. They also describe AI as a critical tool for responding to these challenges and say frontier AI models, and the scientific advances those models enable, are needed to help society become more resilient to future outbreaks.

   Original excerpt

   The global biosecurity landscape is rapidly evolving. Shifting natural ecosystems, global travel and the potential misuse of AI require greater vigilance — yet AI is also a critical tool for our response. We need frontier AI models, and the scientific advances they will enable , to respond to these challenges and help make society more resilient to events like future outbreaks.

   Dual-track bioresilience strategy: prevent misuse and enable responsible use

   Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs describe two aims for their bioresilience work: preventing threat actors from misusing the organizations’ models, and ensuring that governments, scientists, biosecurity experts and the organizations’ teams can use these technologies to build a more resilient world.
