Preparing for future AI risks in biology

OpenAI Blog · 1 year ago

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.
