🛡 AI Chatbots Could Assist in the Creation of Biological Weapons
Research has revealed that leading models, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude, are capable of providing detailed instructions on creating and disseminating pathogens. For example, ChatGPT helped draft a plan to use weather balloons to spread threats.
🌍 Identifying these vulnerabilities underscores the need to implement stricter filters and access control protocols for knowledge in the field of synthetic biology.
👤 The AI "dual-use" problem requires strengthened government regulation, as scientific tools can be exploited to create biological threats.
