Preparing for future AI risks in biology
OpenAI Blog
Researchers are evaluating risks that advanced AI systems could pose to biosecurity, including potential misuse in biological research and medicine. The assessment focuses on identifying which AI capabilities might enable harmful applications, with work currently underway to establish safety measures before such systems become widely available. Organizations are developing safeguards and governance frameworks to prevent dual-use applications while preserving beneficial uses of AI in biology.
Why it matters
Advanced AI can transform biology and medicine—but also raises biosecurity risks. We’re proactively assessing capabilities and implementing safeguards to prevent misuse.
