Our approach to bioresilience

Google DeepMind 5 hours ago

Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs announced a joint bioresilience program to prevent misuse of AI models in biological contexts while enabling their use for disease prevention and response. Over the past 12 months, the organizations advanced more than 15 partnerships with government bodies and biosecurity groups to implement safeguards across prevention, detection, and response activities. The program makes AI systems like AlphaFold and the IsoDDE drug design engine available to trusted partners to accelerate vaccine design, improve pathogen surveillance, and help detect outbreaks faster than traditional methods.

Announcing our updated Responsible Scaling Policy

Anthropic News

Anthropic updated its Responsible Scaling Policy, a risk governance framework for frontier AI systems, to introduce more flexible capability thresholds and refined safeguard assessment processes. The updated policy defines two key capability thresholds requiring upgraded safeguards: autonomous AI research and development capabilities, and meaningful assistance with creating chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons. Models reaching these thresholds will require enhanced security standards (ASL-3 or ASL-4) including internal access controls, deployment monitoring, and pre-deployment red teaming.
