If we get this right, AI could revolutionize medicine and disease prevention. If we get it wrong, the consequences could be catastrophic. The time to build safety frameworks is now, before more powerful systems emerge.

The good news: we can act now. Supporting organizations working on #AI safety and #biosecurity, advocating for responsible development practices and #government action, and raising awareness in the scientific community are concrete steps forward.

We need #governance frameworks that maximize AI's benefits for biological #research while implementing robust safeguards. This includes:
- Careful #regulation and strong enforcement
- Monitoring systems
- International #cooperation
- Research #transparency

This risk carries astronomical stakes. An engineered #pandemic could affect billions and derail humanity's long-term trajectory. Even a small probability of #catastrophe warrants significant #action.

The democratization of AI tools means more actors – including those with malicious intent – could gain access to capabilities previously limited to advanced labs. What was once restricted by technical expertise might become accessible through prompts.

Consider this: AI systems are already being used to predict protein structures and design new molecules. While these advances promise medical breakthroughs, the same technology could potentially be misused to engineer harmful pathogens.
