The Operational Risks of AI in Large-Scale Biological Attacks: A Red-Team Approach

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has far-reaching implications across multiple domains, including its potential to be applied in the development of advanced biological weapons. This application raises particular concerns because it is accessible to nonstate entities and individuals. The speed at which AI technologies are evolving often surpasses the capacity of government regulatory oversight, leading to a notable gap in existing policies and regulations.
